Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science in Educational Studies is a degree with multiple concentrations from which degree candidates can choose, including concentrations in early childhood, elementary, middle level, physical, and special education. While this degree does not provide an opportunity for teacher certification, it could be a pathway to the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree for students who eventually want to earn certification at the graduate level. Additionally, the Educational Studies major provides a flexible pathway for students interested in educational settings that do not require teacher certification, such as community programs and museums.

The Educational Studies program has more flexibility than a traditional education pathway for transfer students and those who do not need teacher certification as an undergraduate.
Students who wish to pursue certification at the graduate level may be able to participate in the accelerated M.A.T. program and finish with their master's degree in one extra year.
Students benefit from the personalized attention of small classes with award-winning faculty, all of whom are experts in their fields.
Graduates can go on to get an M.A.T. degree to become certified to teach, or pursue a number of education focused roles outside of the classroom including children’s museums, YMCA or Boys and Girls clubs, at-risk programs, and more.
