The M.A. in Education and Society offers students the opportunity to explore educational issues within various societal contexts, encompassing cultural, historical, philosophical, economic, and political factors. This program provides two primary pathways: 1) Culture, Values, and Education, which delves into areas like philosophy, art, gender, and international education, and 2) Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum, which focuses on contemporary pedagogical perspectives and classroom practice. Drawing from diverse theoretical frameworks such as philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies, this M.A. program encourages critical inquiry into education's multifaceted nature. Students may choose from three program options, as outlined below:
Master of Arts Education and Society (Course Work)

Program Requirement:
The M.A. in Education and Society; Non-Thesis-Course Work program consists exclusively of course work. This option is less research-oriented than the thesis and non-thesis project options and is suitable for practitioners interested in professional development with a theoretical orientation.
