The Educational Adminstration and Policy Graduate Program at the University of Michigan School of Education
Are you interested in promoting change in K-12 education? Are you also thinking about becoming a leader in K-12 schools or school systems or working with individuals and organizations that influence education policies? If so, the Educational Administration and Policy program could be ideal for you. Faculty and students in this program examine processes that occur at many levels of the education system—from the statehouse to the schoolhouse, and from Congress to the classroom—asking how systems of school finance and governance, the organization and management of schools, the actions of school leaders and staff, and the politics and resources of national, regional, and local communities can be harnessed to promote better instruction in classrooms, higher student achievement, and social justice in schools.
If you choose to pursue a degree in the Educational Administration and Policy program, you can:
- Take classes and do research with some of the nation’s premier experts on education policy, school organization and management, and instructional improvement;
- Join a community of students and faculty interested in making change happen, not just in K-12 schools and school systems, but in the larger world of education policy and practice;
- Learn what it takes to craft good education policies, organize and manage schools, work with faculty and students to improve teaching and learning, and develop the skills you’ll need as a leader and change agent.
