This problem may be approached from the different perspectives of history of education, philosophy of education, social foundations of education, or comparative and international education. The student will choose one or a combination of these perspectives as his/her area of emphasis and, in consultation with an advisor, will select appropriate courses, seminars, and individual study projects. There is no set number of courses or credits required for this portion of the program and the selections depend upon the student’s goals, previous education and experience.
