Suggestions for programs in education
Hello friends,
In putting together my PhD program list, I have been advised to look for programs from the U.S. News Rankings. I did this, but now I am a little bit at a loss. I would like to cast my net wider and beyond the really competitive and famous schools. That is not to say that I think that schools not listed in the rankings are not as good, but I would like to know of and be exposed to other graduate programs. Also, while I would say that I am a competitive student (despite what others think) but there are certainly other students that are more competitive than I am. So I am in need of suggestions for schools and programs.
I always forget to do this...my field is in education. Specifically I am interested in programs that study race, class, and gender in education; anthropology of education; and my demographic of interest is in Southeast Asians in higher education. Frankly, just to share a little bit more, most people tell me that I should consider the program at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and their research on immigrant and college access and such. I have but it is really too cold up there.
TIA
