Welcome to Education and Public Policy

Our Bachelor of Science program in Education and Public Policy is preparing tomorrow’s advocates, policy makers, school leaders, researchers, and administrators by taking a deep dive into the meaning of education and change, focusing on the integral relationships with history, sociology, political science, and philosophy.

About the Program

The B.S. Ed. in Education and Public Policy (EPP) takes an interdisciplinary approach combining theory, practice, and the exploration of intersecting relationships of education, cultural impact, history, and society. We look at the intersections of gender, race, and justice to examine a path towards more equitable educational policies taking the political, economic, and cultural landscape into account across the globe and in the US.

Through dynamic relationships with professors leading the way in education innovation, impact, and change, students will be challenged to question their understanding of modern education and its systems and structures. Exploring contemporary policy dilemmas, EPP students hone their research and analytical skills integrating foundational courses in sociology, political science, economics, business, and research methodology with core educational policy studies. Elective options encompass diverse topics such as policy challenges, public systems, leadership, ethics, diversity, equality, and equity. Complementing academic coursework, students engage in a semester of field experience, culminating in a hands-on research project, bridging theory with real-world application.
