Educational Studies (B.A.)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Undergraduate Degrees

The educational studies major is designed for students who have an interest in an education-oriented career, but have decided against pursuing P-12 licensure. Career examples include lay ministerial work, business training, and with some further preparation, various counseling endeavors. The educational studies major will not lead to teacher certification in any state. However, after completing the educational studies major or minor, the graduate may apply to the Board of Educational Examiners for a substitute authorization. A substitute authorization allows an individual to substitute in any K-12 classroom for no more than five consecutive days in one job assignment.
