Application Tips & FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get an Educational Organization and Leadership catalog?
In order to insure that you always get the most up-to-date, correct information, all our department and application information is on the web at www.ed.uiuc.edu/eol. We no longer have a hard copy catalog available. Our web site includes detailed application instructions, information about our divisions, and a link to apply online.

How many students do you admit?
We do not have a department quota, and the percentage of admissions to applications varies from division to division. In the department as a whole, we offered admission to about 25% of Ph.D. applicants in the last few years.
