Ph.D. in History, Philosophy, and Policy in Education – Specialization in Philosophy of Education
What do we teach, how do we teach, and why?
These questions have their roots in the philosophy of education and have important implications for future classroom practice and policy.
Explore these ideas and delve into current educational practice and policy. In addition to education coursework, students are encouraged to include relevant classes from outside disciplines, including philosophy, religious studies, history, and philosophy of science.
Graduates typically attain professional roles in university teaching and research, but you may also pursue a career in development and consulting for governmental and private-sector organizations.
