About the educational psychology programme in UT-Austin

Hi,

 

I have been admitted by the master programme of human development, culture and learning science in the dept of educational psychology of UT-Austin. This programme ranks 10 in USnews, but after reviewing again the info of the faculties, I am a little concerned.

 

Because some of the faculties are older age like 65+ years old. Will this affect the education quality of the programme if I want to pursue a PhD after the master degree? 

 

Does anyone know anything about this program or this dept? Please give me some suggestions and information! Thanks a lot!!!

Congrats on the acceptance! I was accepted into the HDCLS PhD program. I can't say much about it yet until I visit next week, but this is one of the questions I have myself (although my advisor is one of the newer professors). 

 

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this, but I will also recap what I learn next week when I return.

wow, Congrats to you too. As I know, the PhD programme is highly competitive. Really happy to hear from you about your visit next week, can not wait to hear back your recap!!! :)  Enjoy your time in Austin.

I just want to make my position clear: I am more worried about being the only person in my group to be straight from undergrad whereas everyone else has had at least 2-4 years of additional experience on top of their current degree. Thus, EVERYONE is going to be significantly older than I am, so I need to make sure that I am not in any sort of inferior position because of that.
