The Educational Studies program prepares undergraduate students to be effective community leaders and educators. With a focus on culturally responsive practices, the program provides opportunities for self-reflection, communication, an asset-focused mindset, and examination of societal and cultural factors that impact student achievement, the role of literacy in learner development, and methods to differentiate instruction to engage and challenge diverse learners.
