How to apply to the MITER program
Who may apply
The highly competitive and demanding
MITER program is open to doctoral students who have been
admitted to the Graduate School and to a doctoral program in a
degree-granting department at the University of Minnesota. It is
designed for doctoral students in any field interested in
applying their disciplinary knowledge and research skills to
problems in education.
Fifteen to 30 student fellows will
eventually be selected for the five-year program.
Preference will be given to students with a strong undergraduate
record, research experience, and a commitment to research on
educational problems.
Students may
apply to MITER while applying for admission as a doctoral
student.
Although the MITER program can fund only
U.S. citizens or permanent residents, we encourage international
students to participate in MITER, for example, by enrolling in
the education sciences minor or in selected MITER courses;
and/or participating in seminars, research day activities, and
the journal club.
The University of Minnesota and the MITER
program are committed to recruiting diverse student populations
and to ensuring accessibility to all persons, regardless of
disability. The office of Disability
Services offers resources and assistance to students,
faculty, and staff.
