Advanced Degrees for Educators Determined to Build a More Just World 

Educational change begins with one person: you. At the Carolyn A. and Peter S. Lynch School of Education and Human Development, we believe that educators—both in K–12 schools and non-traditional settings—are uniquely equipped to lay the building blocks of a more just world through formative education. Our online master’s programs are designed to help you develop the skills needed to improve the human condition, foster equitable opportunities, and make change in your community as an educational leader.

More than an M.Ed., our program prepares educators to improve the common good through effective curricula designed to serve students in a dynamic world.

Educational Leadership & Policy students will complete comprehensive and agile courses to strengthen their skills as leaders in standards-based reform, technological advances, and evidence-based practices.

With an emphasis on discernment and critical reflection, we educate the whole person and foster intellectual, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual growth.

Our graduates guide organizational cultures and processes by drawing on social-justice values and leadership strategies, improving equitable opportunities for all students.

Educational Leadership & Policy graduates support student development and work to build equitable communities.

Global Perspectives students will learn how to apply globally-informed learning designs to solve complex local educational challenges. 

Global Perspective students examine educational perspectives from a wide range of cultures and countries.

Based on these perspectives, graduates design effective curriculum to promote social-justice based educational practices.

Graduates develop collaborative action research skills, drawing on international perspectives to better meet the needs of their communities.
