MA International Education at George Washington University

Programme overview

The International Education Program (IEP) empowers students to improve systems of education and to increase access to quality education around the world. In the IEP, students explore the history, culture, development, contemporary concerns, and future trends of schooling and higher education in well-resourced, under-resourced, and/or conflict and emergency contexts. Enrolled students learn about traditions and systems of education in other nations and cultures. They also acquire skills and experience relevant to working in these programs.
