Education Policy, PhD

Students in the Education Policy Ph.D. program pursue an individualized program of study that reflects their specific interests in education policy at the local, state, national, or international levels.

The Education Policy Ph.D. program equips graduates with the knowledge and methodological tools to use, understand, and conduct research on the pressing educational issues of the day. Students pursue an individualized program of study that reflects their specific interests, and are required to write a significant qualifying paper and complete a dissertation on an issue in education. At the heart of the Ph.D. program is the research apprenticeship, where students work on research projects alongside faculty members. Doctoral students are matched with Education Policy faculty members whose research interests align with their own. Our program prepares students for a variety of careers, including faculty positions at institutions of higher education, and policy research positions at research firms, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.

How Penn Medicine is going green for good health

The university of pennsylvania health system prioritizes sustainability in its day-to-day practices, while envisioning novel approaches to greening efforts..

The health care sector has an outsized impact on the Earth’s changing climate, responsible for an estimated 8.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. At the same time, the mission of health care—to improve an individual’s health—sits at odds with its negative contributions to the environment and public health.

But does providing health care to patients have to contribute to worsening the health of other people and the planet?

Increasingly, health care professionals and organizations are saying no. A green health care system is attainable, and a three-way win: a win for a patient’s health, a win for the health of the planet and public health, and a win in the form of cost savings.

For example, an initiative from Penn Medicine anesthesiologists to reduce the flow rate of anesthesia gases for patients—while still delivering safe care—slashed greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of 30 metric tons of carbon in the space of only three months at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania last year.

Surgery and anesthesia teams address climate impacts in the OR :  From anesthesia gases that have outsized greenhouse effects, to medical waste disposal, operating rooms at Penn Medicine are greening health care.

Health care teams ‘act locally’ to support Penn Medicine sustainability goals :  Teams across Penn Medicine are working hard to “think globally, act locally” when making environmentally friendly changes in their day-to-day operations.

Health research on a warming planet :  Climate change affects human health, from viral transmission to the effectiveness of medications. Researchers at Penn Medicine are discovering how and seeking solutions.

How the next generation of physicians will combat climate change:  Through a new Planetary Health curriculum, Penn medical students are learning about the impact of climate change on human health.

From large-scale efforts, like a commitment to sustainable building design and a massive renewable power purchase agreement in collaboration with the University, to more localized initiatives in hospital operating rooms and offices, the changes are meant to move toward the same goal,  articulated in the organization’s recent strategic plan : making Penn Medicine the most environmentally friendly health care organization in the nation.

“Health care is dedicated to healing, but the industry has played a role in the changing climate,” says Kevin B. Mahoney , chief executive officer of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS). “It’s our responsibility now to balance health care with impact. We can do this by fostering engagement around climate-related initiatives, improving sustainability within our own health systems and beyond, and setting an example for the field. It’s the right thing to do for our patients, the community, and the generations to come.”

Penn Medicine, which encompasses UPHS and the Perelman School of Medicine , currently has a climate footprint that rivals the rest of the University combined. The health system has committed to the University’s  Climate and Sustainability Action Plan , which includes adopting the “audacious yet achievable” goal of reaching 100% carbon neutrality by 2042, says Greg Evans, UPHS corporate director of sustainability.

RIT and UR partner to create accelerated graduate degree pathways for education and counseling students

Boris Sapozhnikov

Eligible students can begin their journey in these new accelerated degree pathways starting fall 2024.

Rochester Institute of Technology’s College of Liberal Arts and University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education have established new 3+2 and 4+1 admissions agreements , providing RIT undergraduate students with expedited pathways to launch their careers in teaching, higher education, or counseling. These agreements streamline the process for eligible students to earn both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees within a five-year timeframe.

In the 3+2 program, RIT students admitted and enrolled through this pathway will complete all required coursework for undergraduate majors in three years. This paves the way for a smooth transition to the Warner School’s mental health counseling and school counseling master’s programs. The first year at the Warner School concurrently fulfills the final year of their bachelor’s degree.

Similarly, the 4+1 program offers RIT undergraduate students the opportunity to finish all coursework for their undergraduate major within four years as planned. However, students in qualifying bachelor’s degree programs at RIT can also begin graduate-level coursework in their fourth year, earning six credits toward their master’s degree in either higher education or a teacher preparation program at the Warner School.

“This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to enrich the student experience at RIT,” said John Smithgall , assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts. “These programs play a crucial role in expanding students’ perspectives about what they can achieve in terms of their educational and career aspirations. This is particularly significant in dismantling barriers and stereotypes about certain professions, empowering students to pursue their passions and make significant contributions to their chosen fields.”

Under the terms of the agreement, RIT students who meet the Warner School’s admissions requirements and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 in their third year for the 3+2 program and fourth year for the 4+1 program can obtain both degrees in five years. Moreover, students will benefit from tuition scholarships toward their qualifying graduate degree programs at the Warner School.

“We are thrilled to partner with RIT in offering these innovative admissions pathways,” says Sarah Peyre, dean of the Warner School. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing students with accessible and accelerated pathways to pursue their passions for teaching, higher education, and counseling. By combining our expertise and resources, we aim to empower students to excel in their academic journey and make meaningful contributions to their communities.”

RIT’s College of Liberal Arts Interim Dean Kelly Norris Martin adds, “We have an incredibly diverse community of students in the College of Liberal Arts who all have unique visions for their futures. Through this new partnership, we’re able to expand the opportunities available to our students so they can follow their passions. Additionally, these new educational pathways can better prepare our students to fill the increased need for teachers and counselors in our communities.”

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities for counselors and teachers are expected to increase through 2031. Whether individuals aspire to work in a K-12 school or clinical setting, or at the higher education level, RIT can provide students with a head start in becoming specialized educators or counselors. RIT’s culture of innovation and forward-thinking use of technology equips students to be adept at navigating and applying technological learning resources and tools to help their future students and clients excel.

From regional K-12 schools to top higher education and healthcare institutions, the Warner School’s graduate programs further prepare students to apply their comprehensive insights in classrooms, clinics, postsecondary institutions and communities worldwide to lead change for all. For more than 65 years, the Warner School has advanced the fields of education and counseling through innovative theories, experiences and leadership.

For more information about the accelerated pathways to careers in teaching, counseling and higher education, go to the Warner School’s partnerships program page or RIT’s College of Liberal Arts website.
