The <strong>UEP</strong> Year<br />
The curriculum focuses specifically on education policy in urban<br />
settings. The twelve-month program consists of ten courses: eight required<br />
courses, including a required nine-month internship that counts as one course, and<br />
two elective courses. Two required courses are taken in the summer semester; three<br />
required and one elective are taken in each semester during the academic year.<br />
Each cohort will begin their matriculation in the program in June and finish in the<br />
following May.<br />
Required Courses<br />
The eight required courses have as a unifying theme the role played by<br />
education policy in both enhancing and impeding equitable inputs and outcomes of<br />
children educated in the nation’s urban schools. The program will suggest and<br />
encourage elective courses that can be viewed as consonant with that theme, at<br />
least broadly speaking.<br />
The required courses, instructors, and scheduling are as follows:<br />
