Educational Studies

Educational training for non-teachers

The Educational Studies major and minor is a non-licensure program. Students completing this major/minor will have the opportunity to complete coursework with Education majors and students enrolled in licensure programs while completing coursework in other areas.

  • Students who have a desire to run children's homes
  • In-home day cares
  • Healthcare students whose profession involves educating patients and their families
  • Students who plan to be involved in the ministry of religious education
  • Individuals who hope to learn how to effectively home school their children
  • Those who aspire to be college professors
  • International students who may have different needs when teaching in a different country
