The degree is just one of a handful of urban education doctorates in the country, and is focused on preparing researchers to study schools in complex urban environments. Faculty and students in the program conduct community-based research designed in partnership with P-12 schools and community organizations. It is the only urban education doctoral program in the state of Indiana.
