Note on Electives

Students will take four electives, which typically will be a combination of relevant course offerings in other departments and directed research projects. The specific electives will all be subject to approval of the Education Policy Graduate Director, and may include subjects such as education law, qualitative methods, advanced quantitative methods, organizational theory, etc. Directed research projects could be either of the student’s own design or within the context of one of the various research projects underway in the Department of Education Reform.
