Certificates of Undergraduate Study
Foundations of Educational Studies (12)
This interdisciplinary certificate enables students to draw on a variety of disciplinary perspectives and research
methodologies when studying educational theories, policies, and practices. It allows students to focus their

prominent educational philosophies or the work of an individual thinker; the interconnectedness of race,
gender, and socioeconomic class and the effect on learning; and educational policies. This certificate is
designed for those students—whether they are future teachers, parents, researchers, policymakers, or informed
citizens—who seek a richer understanding of education and schools and who wish to delve more deeply into
educational policies and practices.
Students will work closely with faculty members in the Foundations of Education program area to develop an
