Overview

At International and Comparative Education from The American University in Cairo students will develop the professional skills to view educational reform in a global context and the analytic skills for understanding how the social, political, and economic elements of education impact quality and outcomes.

The program includes a full range of courses drawn from a range of disciplines and interdisciplinary constructs, focusing on issues from early childhood policy and education for girls in rural areas, to citizenship development and teacher evaluation methodologies, and everything in between. The MA-ICED offers two study concentrations: teaching and learning and international education development and policy.

Careers

Graduates of AUC’s MA-ICED are high-performing educational leaders and policy analysts for school and university systems that are in need of significant change. Our students work in PreK-12 schools, universities, NGOs, government agencies, intergovernmental institutions, research organizations, and private firms. They go on to influence policies and practices in higher education, and improve quality teaching and learning in schools and universities in Egypt and the region. Many pursue prestigious PhD programs in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
