The Educational Foundations (Ph.D., M.A.) Graduate Program at the University of Michigan School of Education
The graduate specialization in Educational Foundations and Policy brings various disciplinary perspectives to bear on the analysis of educational theories and practices. Among these disciplinary perspectives are history, philosophy, political science and sociology. The specialization also includes a strong Educational Policy Studies component, permitting students to analyze and appraise current educational policies, as well as support the formation of future educational policy. In addition, our specialization is one of several within the School where students can focus on cultural studies in education. We also maintain strong links to the graduate program in Teacher Education, with faculty and students in both programs sharing courses, student committees, and research initiatives.
