About the School of Education and Social Policy
Northwestern’s School of Education and Social Policy (SESP) isn't just a typical education school or policy school; we’re both. SESP students, faculty, and alumni help spark broad and meaningful change for individuals and systems alike – a force for good in the world.
The Power of Learning
We are skilled thinkers and skilled doers. Our deep, complex, and multifaceted work and research lead to life-changing discoveries with real impact. And our unique environment – our place, next to the greatest Great Lake – provides an essential teaching partner. Here, we consider our rights and responsibilities, the individual and the collective, and what it means to engage in civics and our community.
“Social policy isn’t the only thing that makes us unique. It’s also the political scientists, economists, computer scientists, and sociologists. It’s learning scientists, teacher educators, psychologists, and those studying human development.”
Opportunity, Society, and Civic Engagement at SESP
As a school of learning, leadership, and policy, we are committed to building communities that nurture individual and collective well-being and affirm justice in the world.
