The Education Policy and Analysis (EPA) Program equips you to drive and participate in crafting education policies, evaluating them, and implementing reforms across various contexts in the U.S. and globally. You'll gain expertise in expanding successful education strategies through policy mechanisms. The curriculum delivers conceptual models and analytical tools needed to formulate, execute, and assess policies at multiple levels - from global initiatives to local projects. Graduates are prepared for careers in government agencies at all levels, international organizations, research firms, higher education institutions, policy think tanks, and advocacy groups.
The 42.5-credit master of science requires a master’s or doctoral degree. Some departments prefer relevant work experience as well.
