专业概况

The Master of Science in Education Program’s concentration in Educational Studies allows you to explore learning, child development, and schooling in America. While there is a deep focus on teaching, the concentration does not lead to a teaching license. Graduates go on to work in education-related companies, non-profits, museums, private schools, and international schools, as well as pursue doctoral work or research. Courses are small, interactive, and often include field work in amazing K-12 schools in the Chicagoland area. All of this happens at Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy, one of the top-rated schools of education in the United States.
