Social Foundations
Guoping Zhao, PhD—Professor and Program Coordinator
Social foundations of education is an interdisciplinary study of schooling and other forms of education. Ever since it began during the 1930s at Teachers College of Columbia University, social foundations has brought together scholars who situate education in historical, philosophical, economic and social contexts. Using the tools of the humanities and the social sciences, social foundations scholars ask perennial questions, such as: What is the purpose of schooling in a democracy? What knowledge and values should be taught and to whose benefit? How are issues of race, ethnicity, social class, gender and ability manifested in schools?
Drawing from history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, international studies and other disciplines to teach their courses, faculty in the social foundations program area ask that educators reflect critically on the social and cultural dynamics in educational settings and how policy and practices might be improved. Students from other human service professions and other disciplines are invited to make similar use of the content of these courses for their professional practice. SCFD website

Social Foundations (SCFD)
Guoping Zhao, PhD—Professor and Program Coordinator
Social foundations of education is an interdisciplinary study of schooling and other forms of education. Ever since it began during the 1930s at Teachers College of Columbia University, social foundations has brought together scholars who situate education in historical, philosophical, economic and social contexts. Using the tools of the humanities and the social sciences, social foundations scholars ask perennial questions, such as: What is the purpose of schooling in a democracy? What knowledge and values should be taught and to whose benefit? How are issues of race, ethnicity, social class, gender and ability manifested in schools?
Drawing from history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, international studies and other disciplines to teach their courses, faculty in the social foundations program area ask that educators reflect critically on the social and cultural dynamics in educational settings and how policy and practices might be improved. Students from other human service professions and other disciplines are invited to make similar use of the content of these courses for their professional practice.
MA in Social Foundations of Education
The MA in Social Foundations of Education is designed for those who are interested in increasing their knowledge base in history, philosophy, sociology, and anthropology of education and their research skills and critical and creative thinking skills. The degree will enhance current practitioners' and leaders' marketability and their capacity to earn professional development credits and pay raises. It will also prepare those who wish to continue on to earn a Ph.D. or another terminal degree in education and related fields. The curriculum is geared toward providing students with a strong foundation in theory and research, bridging together community service and outreach.
To be considered for admission to the MA program, applicants are expected to have an earned bachelor's degree with minimum GPA averages of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale. Rolling admission until July 1 for Fall admission and December 1 for Spring admission. For international applicants, see the Graduate College requirement at: https://gradcollege.okstate.edu/prospective-students/application-process.html.
PhD in Education/Social Foundation
The mission of the PhD in education with social foundations option is to educate scholars who have the abilities to discover, integrate and apply knowledge about the culture in which the institutions called school reside, as well as the culture the institution creates.

To be considered for admission to the PhD program, applicants are expected to have an earned master's degree with minimum GPA averages of 3.50 on a 4.00 scale, and have career goals that match the program. Applicants must provide appropriate recommendations (three), present either a Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or Miller Analogy Test (MAT) score.
