Coursework and experiences in the Urban Education program are guided by a commitment to anti-racist and social justice teaching and learning. Our faculty use research and practice-based approaches in their instruction.
You will learn to take an asset-based approach to local communities and the stakeholders in them and how to take an inquiry-orientated approach to urban education based on cycles of reflection, planning, and action.
Foundational courses explore the dynamic interactions among schools, communities, and governments -- as well as the competing forces of human agency and structural oppression.
Our programs of study leverage inquiry, critical thinking, and problem-solving to prepare our students to become skilled educators, leaders, policymakers, community advocates, and researchers.
