Major Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Educational Studies major is an interdisciplinary degree program designed for students interested in working with youth, families, and communities in and beyond the classroom. Educational Studies majors explore critical issues in education, including the tensions between education and social justice; child and youth development across social contexts; and how systems of inequity shape teaching and learning.  Through community-engaged learning opportunities, Educational Studies majors develop leadership skills to nurture and sustain partnerships with families and communities. Educational Studies majors go on to become change agents who work against inequity and advocate for social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Educational Studies major does not<\/strong> result in a Washington state teacher certification. If you are interested in teaching, you can learn more about our teacher certification programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
