Social/Philosophical Foundations of Education
This interdisciplinary graduate program is designed to facilitate professional educators’ developing critical, interpretative, and normative perspectives of the interrelations between educational institutions and society. This program includes the academic disciplines of anthropology of education, comparative/ international education, cultural studies in education, history of education, philosophy of education, and sociology of education. Students collaborate with their advisers in selecting one or more of the above disciplines to create a graduate program tailored to their needs, interests, and professional aspirations. Students may be either encouraged or required to study with faculty in other departments or institutions to develop interdisciplinary programs and perspectives.
Graduates of the program can earn a Master of Arts in Education degree in preparation for careers in both traditional and non-traditional educational settings and for further doctoral study in anthropology of education, comparative/international education, cultural studies in education, history of education, philosophy of education, and sociology of education. Graduates are more employable in positions that require in-depth understanding of the broader social contexts of educational policy.
