Our mission is to prepare graduates to demonstrate an understanding of the historical, philosophical, and moral foundations of education and inquiry, alongside methodological expertise in multiple modes of rigorous and ethical research. Graduates will develop deep knowledge of educational policy, leadership, and practice, and gain practical experience in designing and conducting meaningful research through mentored projects and collaborative engagement with schools, agencies, and communities. Above all, our graduates will be committed to using knowledge in the service of others, guided by faith, humility, and respect for truth wherever it is found.
