在这里学什么？

Education questions are central to all societies, and they are complex and consequential, requiring knowledge and deliberation to answer effectively.

Most nations provide some form of free public education and, as a result, need to determine goals for their education systems and decide how best to achieve them. In the United States, public schools have long been a preferred (albeit imperfect) lever for equal opportunity, at times contributing to economic competitiveness, innovation, and human capital development, but far too often perpetuating larger social and economic inequalities. The Education Department's mission is to understand and improve education through research and teaching, with a particular focus on K-12 public education in the United States.

Through multiple analytical lenses and disciplinary perspectives, the Education Studies concentration challenges students to understand human development, the purposes and processes of education, and the public and private institutions that shape educational opportunities and outcomes. The concentration offers students a deep and broad-based grounding in key concepts and theories related to individuals (as developing children, learners, and teachers), contexts (families and communities), organizations (schools, government, and policy arenas), and ecosystems (history, culture) and the ways these levels interact and intersect to influence children's development, their educational opportunities, and their outcomes. A hallmark of our concentration is developing students' understanding of how theory is connected to best practice. Our concentration provides opportunities to delve into some of social science's biggest questions and to connect those questions to real-world consequences and applications.
