Key Summary

    About: The BS in Educational Studies focuses on understanding educational processes, policies, and practices. The program equips students with the knowledge needed to analyze and improve educational systems. It emphasizes current trends and challenges in education, preparing graduates for various roles in this field.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers in education policy, curriculum development, educational consulting, or administrative roles in schools and educational organizations. They may also expand their qualifications by pursuing further studies like a Master's degree in Education or related fields.

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.
