M.A. in Equity, Access, and Success in Education
The objective of Rowan University’s Master of Arts in Equity, Access, and Success in Education (EASE) is to prepare urban educators, community organizers, policymakers, school leaders, and youth-focused change agents to understand the contradictions of current urban school systems and meaningfully address the educational and broader socioeconomic disparities that urban communities too often face. The program meets its primary objective through a focus on students' understanding and applying a range of critical perspectives to study urban education and communities through historical, legal, sociological, and political-economic lenses. There are no certifications attached to the program. The program culminates in a master’s degree.

It requires the completion of 36 graduate semester hours (12 courses) and can be completed in 6 consecutive semesters.
