Overview

In our M.Ed. Education Policy, Organizations and Leadership program, we address pressing problems of U.S. education practice that are essential to equitable learning opportunities and results for students in and out of school, from early childhood through K-12 and transitions to post-secondary education. Our program emphasizes the importance of addressing disparities by race, class, language, ability and other social identities.

Features

This two-year program at the University of Washington is an individually tailored course of study culminating in a choice of a final project (either a thesis or a project that can include an internship or applied research project).

The thesis option is a good option for students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in the future. Students may also undertake a field-based internship to integrate their academic and practice-based learning or a project of their own design.

Students are assigned an advisor who will work with them to identify an individualized course of study, opportunities to participate in research projects and other learning opportunities as well as opportunities to engage in EdPOL graduate student events.
