Faculty explore the wide-ranging factors that shape education systems, including historical contexts, socioeconomic policies, and political dynamics, along with the structural characteristics of institutions supporting America's varied local schools and districts. They engage in both scholarly research and instruction, covering educational economics, sociology, historical perspectives, and political dimensions. United by their dedication to rigorous analysis—be it qualitative or quantitative—they examine the driving forces, principles, and behaviors that influence collective efforts and stakeholder tensions in the pursuit of enhancing public education.

A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution,
A grade point average of B or better (3.0),
If the applicant comes from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these), and
