Education Policy Studies Minor

Designed for future teachers, educational policymakers, school district partner organization professionals, community organizers, and nonprofit professionals, the Education Policy Studies Minor prepares students with cross-disciplinary, field-informed knowledge of education policy within American and international school systems. This minor is open to all Loyola University Chicago undergraduates.

Loyola's Educational Policy Studies Minor program introduces students to the policies, ideas and decision-making that has created and can create change in our educational system. This program is a great choice for students who want to study, critically analyze, and confront systemic equalities in our education systems. And for those who want to prepare for work in education in a non-classroom setting, this minor is especially useful.

Upon completion of the minor in Educational Policy Studies, graduates will possess knowledge, skills, and professional values necessary to work in non-classroom educational settings, including after-school programs, nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, or government offices.
