Explore the multifaceted role of education in society and human development. Our rigorous, multidisciplinary concentration empowers undergraduates to analyze and address complex issues of opportunity and equity in real-world educational settings.
You'll actively apply theory to the critical areas of education policy, practice, and learning. Our courses, from introductory to advanced, examine how education can both foster and hinder equity and social justice. They also critically examine "what works" in education, including the policies, practices, and interventions that improve and equalize education. Working closely with faculty experts from fields like anthropology, economics, and sociology, you'll develop analytical skills and theoretical frameworks to understand education's complexities at different scales, from individual experiences to structures and systems that help to address the most important issues in education.
