专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Department of Educational Leadership and Policy in the University at Buffalo’s Graduate School of Education is partnering with the Department of Economics in the College of Arts and Sciences to offer a new master’s (M.A.) program in Economics and Education Policy Analysis (EEPA). Consistent with UB’s emphasis on innovation and interdisciplinarity, this new M.A. program allows you to explore the intersection between economics and education. This unique program aims to train future education leaders and scholars in using economic theory and econometric tools to solve real-world issues in education.

The field of education increasingly calls for data-informed decisions about resource allocation, educational practices, and policy development. Future education leaders and scholars will be asked to address complex issues in education that either have an economic dimension or that can be addressed using econometric tools. These tools can be applied to a variety of educational questions from student achievement and school reform to financial aid and student loan debt.

This interdisciplinary program will train you:

• to be skilled in data manipulation and analysis so that it leads to immediate gainful employment in schools and institutions that make use of evidence based decision making
• to be practical in how you address real-world needs and solve education problems for students in K-12 and Higher Education contexts
• to be clear in how you communicate those real-world solutions to the public
• to be sophisticated in your application of theories and analytic techniques to education

Careers

Successful graduates of this program will be prepared to seek careers in the US and abroad, including but not limited to: government education agencies, colleges and university departments of budget, planning, and institutional analysis, ministries of education, school districts, non-profit research and advocacy organizations, and a host of other fields involving data analysis and policy development. This program will also prepare students for challenging academic careers in the areas of education, economics, public policy, and related fields.
