Program Overview<\/h2>\n

When you specialize in teachers, schools, and society, you\u2019re searching for solutions to enduring problems in education.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our shared assumption is that schools are shaped by larger societal forces like politics, culture, economics, and moral values. In other words, schools are not situated in a societal vacuum. So we enlist perspectives from history, philosophy, sociology and more to explore the inter-relationships between schools and society. Our program is for people who want to acquire, discover, and apply expert knowledge from these disciplines to address and resolve pressing problems in schooling and in education more broadly.<\/p>\n

Graduate students earn a Master of Arts in Education (M.A.E.) degree in curriculum and instruction. The teachers, schools and society specialization area will not be reflected on your diploma.<\/p>\n

We are part of a vibrant community of students and faculty both in the teachers, schools, and society program and throughout the School of Teaching & Learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the liberal arts wrapped into education<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students collaborate with faculty through coursework and research by understanding and resolving enduring problems in education.<\/p>\n

Equip yourself to interpret these issues, both critically and constructively, by studying the various dimensions of our field, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n
