Mission
To prepare leaders in education and to generate knowledge to improve student opportunity, achievement, and success.
Overview
Education touches every aspect of human activity. At the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), we believe studying and improving the enterprise of education are central to the health and future of society.
Since its founding in 1920, the Ed School has been training leaders to transform education in the United States and around the globe. Today, our faculty, students, and alumni are studying and solving the most critical challenges facing education: student assessment, the achievement gap, urban education, and teacher shortages, to name just a few. Our work is shaping how people teach, learn, and lead in schools and colleges as well as in after-school programs, high-tech companies, and international organizations. The HGSE community is pushing the frontiers of education, and the effects of our entrepreneurship are improving the world.
Academic Programs
Today, more than 100 faculty members guide about 900 students in doctoral and master's programs each year. HGSE offers 13 master's programs and 2 doctoral programs, leading to careers in teaching and research, school leadership, counseling, language and literacy, education policy, and many other fields. In addition, each year more than 3,000 educational leaders from around the world participate in our professional education programs.
Faculty
HGSE faculty members are deeply involved in the most critical issues in education, from examining how changes in the economy are redefining a good basic education to exploring the fundamental questions about early childhood learning and development. Their work as teachers, mentors, and researchers has a profound impact on the world of education. (more...)
Students
HGSE students bring a wealth of varied experience to the School. Many students enrolling in one of the 13 master's programs do so after serving as teachers, school and district administrators, policymakers, counselors, researchers, program directors, and college and university administrators. They contribute knowledge from settings as diverse as public and private schools, nonprofit organizations, international organizations, and corporations. Doctoral students bring a combination of proven leadership experience research experience. Doctoral students admitted for fall 2008 averaged six years of professional experience prior to enrolling, while admitted master's students averaged four and a half years.
