Urban Education

Welcome to the Urban Education Program at Texas A&M University. We are committed to urban school partnerships, teacher induction, equity and social justice, and advocacy of policies and programs across the nation. We offer two graduate programs in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Urban Education—a 36-hour Master of Education degree and a 64-hour Doctor of Philosophy degree. Our graduate program is currently one of the premier urban education programs in the nation.

Our doctorate program emphasizes strong research and analytical skills, a broad knowledge base, and an individualized area of concentration focused on preparing the next generation of scholars and leaders. We also work to achieve national and international visibility for our Ph.D. candidates.  

The master’s program emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, a strong knowledge base in evaluation, practitioner action-based research, and community-based research.
