Ace! NewsFlash

MASTER'S IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY AT HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL
OF EDUCATION

The International Education Policy program is an intensive one-year
program that prepares students for leadership positions advancing
educational innovation and reform globally.  Students hail from a
variety of geographic, educational, and work backgrounds, yet all are
individuals interested in educational policy leadership, innovation,
reform, and entrepreneurship in developing countries, in the U.S., and
other OECD countries.

Our curriculum emphasizes the comparative study of educational systems
as well as the analytic skills to identify the core causes of
education challenges,  to generate opportunities to address these
challenges, and to evaluate their impact.  The core curriculum
includes courses focusing on comparative and international education,
policy analysis, and evaluation. During the program, students develop
leadership and management skills to implement and supervise
educational improvement projects and programs. In addition, numerous
co-curricular activities engage the students in frequent dialogue with
leading global education practitioners.

IEP graduates are firmly grounded in an understanding of the
relationship between education policy and programs and instructional
improvement in the classroom in a variety of educational institutions.
They also have extensive comparative knowledge of reforms and
improvement programs and have the ability to work in a variety of
institutional and geographic settings.

In addition to teaching, our faculty are deeply involved with issues
of practice. Students get to work with and learn from leading faculty
who investigate the role of education policy in advancing educational
opportunity.  In addition to the core faculty at the Harvard Graduate
School of Education, students in the program work with visiting
faculty and with visiting scholars in the numerous international and
area studies centers at Harvard University.

Through cross-program and cross-school interactions, the IEP program
offers students the advantages of the Harvard-wide community, which
provides myriad opportunities to engage with and learn from scholars
with diverse backgrounds, interests, and disciplinary understandings.
Harvard is on a mission to become a truly global university in the
21st century. Numerous initiatives, projects, and a constant stream of
students and visitors from all parts of the world reflect the
determined pursuit of that mission. This creates a rich and
stimulating environment where those of you interested in global
educational leadership will thrive.
