The Education Studies major is an interdisciplinary BA degree. Students in this major learn how education continuously shapes society and how, in turn, society continuously transforms education. Using powerful tools from public policy, advocacy, and social entrepreneurship, students learn how members of society, including themselves, can influence education at its many levels, whether in school or non-school settings, locally, nationally and internationally.
