Interested in another Phd

[phdpossibility]

So I have a Counselling Phd but I'm quite interested in a Phd for curriculum studies/learning sciences. Do any of you have experience with this sort of consulting work?

Thank you

no idea what that is

Yes, can you explain what that is? Never heard of that degree. Is that like cognitive psych? Curriculum development in educational departments?

Sorry, there are many options, but this is usually all within the education faculty. Usually the outcome is admin positions with school districts, or College prof, or consulting with Universities about their overall goals, undergrad/grad programs, etc

I don't think that the folks here who specialize in psychology are going to be the best prepared to answer questions on degrees in education.

Psychology degrees are given from Psychology departments and Education departments.

Psychology degrees are given from Psychology departments and Education departments.

A school of education contains numerous departments, including those that study psychology (counseling psychology being one of the common ones). Psychology does not study education despite being in the same school. It is akin to asking a psychology major to paint a beautiful picture because they are in the school of arts and sciences and being surprised when they say they can't.

Its simply not the same field.
