Education Studies

Why education studies?

A major in education studies prepares those interested in education for various careers in non-licensed fields, such as non-profit or corporate environments.

  • Focused on education theory and practice, the curriculum includes diverse topics such as teaching methods, educational psychology and technology. 
  • Students may also work closely with their advisor to pair the major with elective courses, majors or minors tailored to their vocational goals.
  • A degree in educational studies prepares students to share information effectively with others, advance others’ cognitive development, and transform educational systems in their communities.
