Education and Public Policy - Path Through the Major
Path Through the Major
EPP students become discerning research consumers and policy analysts working toward socially just reforms in the education space and beyond. The EPP major blends core courses in educational policy with courses in sociology, political science, economics, business, race and class, and research methods. Elective courses within the major include policy problems, public systems, leadership, ethics, diversity, equality, and equity.
A sample academic plan for Education and Public Policy can be found here.
We encourage students to structure their course work around their area of interest. Some examples include:
- Child Maltreatment and Advocacy Studies
- Sustainable Development
- Political Science
- African American Studies
- LGBTQA Advocacy
- Youth and Community Development
- Crime, Law and Justice
- International Studies
- Women, Children, and the Family
- Athletics
- Museum Studies
- Social Justice
- Arts in Education
Contact your advisor to discuss possible course work in your area of interest.
