Specialization in Educational Policy Studies

Educational policy studies consists of a multidisciplinary program of study and research concerned with identifying and ameliorating significant educational problems. It draws upon concepts and research methods from a variety of fields (including the social sciences, history, law, and philosophy) in defining problems and formulating solutions.

The purpose of this specialization is to prepare professionals from diverse backgrounds for effective informed engagement in this process. At the same times, it prepares such persons to pursue research and service agendas geared toward lifting policy analysis, discourse, and action to new levels.

The program varies in the number of credit hours required, depending upon the candidate's qualifications, and includes courses required of all doctoral students in the college, courses in the specialization area, work in a cognate area outside the specialization, a field experience/internship, and the dissertation.
