Brown's Department of Education offers a wide range of courses that cover a complex and fundamental range of topics, such as race, class, power, privilege, equity, and identity. These courses help students understand these issues in the context of American schools.
Undergraduate concentrators study the field of education in a rigorous, multi-dimensional way that allows them to apply questions of equity to real-world contexts, from internships to humanitarian work to educational work in schools.
