Overview

Key Features

Students who pursue course work in Educational Studies program at Swarthmore College develop richly informed perspectives on the role of education in society. They go on to become leaders in a wide-range of fields: discipline-based research in higher education (e.g., anthropology, English, linguistics, psychology, sociology, math education, science education, computer science); museums and out-of-school learning, general education including teaching, school leadership and policy; community organization and development; clinical psychology, counseling, English as a second language, evaluation research, special education, social work; medicine; and law.

Students hone their research skills in upper-level courses, and, during the summer, they can apply for support to pursue further training through work on a professor’s project, or their own research interests. Experiences of this type provide students with a rich base from which to investigate their thesis questions as seniors at the College.

The Department of Educational Studies at Swarthmore College is committed to anti-racism, social justice, and sustainability in the pursuit of liberation for all people. We believe children and youth deserve educational environments where they can experience joy as learners and thrive. Our mission exists in partnership with broader global struggles against anti-Blackness, anti-immigrant policy and practice, as well as structural racism and other intersecting systems of oppression. As a community of students, faculty, and staff, we aim to be reflective, innovative and collaborative in how we contribute to a more just and equitable world. Our goals reflect this mission.

In an era of anti-racist and anti-oppressive movements, students and faculty in Educational Studies at Swarthmore use research, theoretical frameworks and pedagogical practices from a range of disciplines to explore and question. We are committed to helping our students become critical practitioners, researchers, and/or policy makers who are positioned to create, and advocate for, caring and inclusive communities of learning both at Swarthmore and in the larger communities in which we work.
