BS in Educational Studies

A degree in Educational Studies prepares students for careers in educational settings outside of the traditional classroom. This degree provides students with foundational knowledge and fundamental pedagogical skills that will prepare them for work in alternative educational environments and businesses, and other organizations throughout the state such as non-profits, community, and recreational and human resource programs.

Among those alternative educational environments is the increasing demand for organization-specific training programs resulting in a growing need for education professionals. Additionally, students who complete this program will be prepared to meet the needs of charter schools, which are forthcoming due to the 2015 School Choice and Student Opportunity Act that made Alabama the 43rd state to allow charter schools.
