Arizona State University - Kaplan International

This degree is taught in ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, which is internationally ranked for the quality of its teacher preparation programs. In fact, ASU began as an institution for training teachers. The Master of Arts program in educational policy is suited for individuals who want to deepen their understanding of how to translate research to policy and practice, communicate and engage with stakeholders, and propose effective research-based policies. Students also develop fundamental skills in analyzing and interpreting educational data. This program is designed as a cohort model. It provides a supportive environment for students to take a sequence of core courses with their peers and to learn from professors who are experts in their fields. The program also provides students with the flexibility to select elective courses and individualize their experience to suit their specific interests and aspirations. In the culminating experience in the final semester, students use their new knowledge and applied research skills to design and execute an individual or group project.
