About the Program

The Certificate in Education Policy explores the substance and process of U.S. education policy, along with the institutions that comprise the education system and their governance and practices. Students will study all aspects of education policy-making, including issues of access and equity, ethics in policy-making, and the global context in which education policy is made.

The program is designed to be useful to professionals in both PK-12 and post-secondary education who are interested in gaining a sophisticated understanding of how education policy is made and implemented, as well as the policy issues that professionals will be facing in coming years, and will also have value for those who may have an interest in pursuing a career in education policy.
