Introducing HGSE's Foundations Courses

One of the cornerstones of the reimagined master's degree at HGSE is the Foundations courses, which build comprehensive knowledge that will give students the capacity to drive change across the education sector. Through our four Foundations courses — How People Learn; Evidence; Equity and Opportunity; and Leading Change — students will gain core skills central to the profession of education.

Since its founding in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education 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.
