The UEP Year The curriculum focuses specifically on education policy in urban settings. The twelve-month program consists of ten courses: eight required courses, including a required nine-month internship that counts as one course, and two elective courses. Two required courses are taken in the summer semester; three required and one elective are taken in each semester during the academic year. Each cohort will begin their matriculation in the program in June and finish in the following May. Required Courses The eight required courses have as a unifying theme the role played by education policy in both enhancing and impeding equitable inputs and outcomes of children educated in the nation’s urban schools. The program will suggest and encourage elective courses that can be viewed as consonant with that theme, at least broadly speaking. The required courses, instructors, and scheduling are as follows: Course Instructor Schedule EDUC2300 -- Structures and Systems in Urban Education Prof. Warren Simmons Prof. Michelle Renee Summer EDUC2310 -- Introduction to Education Research: Design and Methods Prof. Michael Grady Prof. Jaime Del Razo Summer EDUC2320 --Quantitative Research Methods and Data Analysis Prof. Matthew Kraft Fall EDUC2330 -- Urban Politics and School Governance Prof. Kenneth Wong Fall EDUC2340 -- Human Development and Urban Education Prof. Jin Li Fall EDUC2350 -- Economics of Education Prof. John Tyler Spring EDUC2360 -- Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation for Education Prof. John Papay Spring EDUC2370 -- Internship (concurrent during full academic year; counts as one course) Education Department faculty and Annenberg staff Fall-Spring Urban Education Policy Handbook page 6
Electives Two of the ten course credits in the program will be satisfied by approved elective courses. The elective component of the program will allow students either to gain greater depth in a core area (e.g., research methods or in urban politics) or to broaden their experience in areas that are related to, but not directly covered by, core courses (e.g., organizational theory or public finance). Electives will be satisfied through approved 100 and 200 level courses regularly offered at Brown subject to the prerequisites and enrollment limits in place for any given course. The elective component of the master’s program offers opportunities for substantive connections to be forged between the organizations directly involved in the master’s program and other departments and programs at Brown, particularly the Taubman Center, the Department of Community Health, the Department of Economics, the Department of Sociology, the Department of Political Science, the Urban Studies Program, and the Department of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies.
