This Education Policy and Leadership (EPL) track program prepares you to conduct original research and provide expertise on how school systems work to serve all learners. You will learn about the different variables and forces affecting leadership and decision making, and you will learn about how those policy decisions affect the outcomes of individual learners and their families.

Your contributions to research will help school systems and policymakers discover ways in which to support healthy and sustainability districts, design programs that enhance learning and development throughout the student lifecycle, and promote a deep understanding and connection between the education we receive and the individuals we become.
