Director of graduate education
Foegen, Anne

As the Director of Graduate Education for the School of Education and on behalf of the Graduate Studies Committee and the School of Education Graduate faculty, I welcome you to the web pages for our graduate programs.

The information on these pages will allow prospective students to explore the exciting options available for graduate study in our School. We offer excellent opportunities to work closely with faculty in your area of interest to pursue a program of study specifically tailored to your interests.

Current students will find information regarding programs and procedures, financing graduate education, and additional information about our faculty and resources for graduate students.

The School of Education is committed to rigorous programs that provide students with strong foundations in education and preparation for their future goals, whether these goals involve faculty positions in research universities; leadership roles in higher education, schools, educational agencies, or state agencies; or enhanced classroom pedagogy or administrative skills.

As a School of Education committed to research and teaching that advocates equal educational opportunity for all students, we seek to foster an environment that welcomes and encourages discussion about issues of race, class, language, gender, culture, and disability. Furthermore, as our programs have a history of serving international graduate students, we are attuned to the power of educational conversations that often occur across national borders. Diversity is central to our work.
