EPOL is training a new generation of researchers to better address issues in educational policy and practice.
Drawing upon traditional strengths in social foundations, education leadership, higher education and human resource development, the department enables graduate students and faculty to support and collaborate with each other in coordinated new synergies to address the most critical issues in education. The department fosters an interdisciplinary understanding of education policy and practice across traditional divides among philosophers, historians, social scientists, organizational theorists, policy analysts & education administrators.
