Doctor of Philosophy in Curriculum and Instruction

This program views urban education as a focus that provides students with the opportunity to more closely examine factors affecting schools and communities in our major cities. These factors include but are not limited to: race, class, gender, ethnicity, language, school finance, tracking, segregation, immigration and marginalization. In addition, urban education explores issues of cultural diversity, social stratification both local and global, and structural inequalities that impact the lives of many families living in our cities.
