The Department of Educational Policy Studies has offered graduate programs leading to various degrees and leadership certifications for more than 20 years at Georgia State. In addition to Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees, the department also offers certificates in qualitative and quantitative research methods and program evaluation as well as an online master’s degree in educational leadership and research. These programs allow students to examine the philosophy and practice of education and to develop expertise in both the methodology and the study of educational practice. Depending on their areas of concentration, students prepare to become educational researchers, educational leaders, policy makers or examiners of policy and the effects of policy on education. Graduates enter a variety of fields, including school administration, research and policy positions for government and private organizations, and teaching at the college and university levels.
