Graduate Courses
Historical, Philosophical, and
Comparative Studies in Education (HPC)
David Owen, Program Coordinator
This program provides graduate experiences in historical, philosophical,
and comparative studies in education. Students develop facility
in analyzing educational problems and issues, critiquing policies
that affect education in society, and making connections between
educational practice and learning.
Work is offered toward the master of science with thesis or nonthesis
option, and the master of education. These degree programs and classes
are of benefit to classroom teachers, educational theorists, administrators,
university personnel, youth workers, religious educators, and others
who seek to understand better the numerous bases of contemporary
systems of education. Study in this field also complements work
in other areas of specialization in education.
