Overview

About the Program

The Education Sciences program of University of California, Irvine (UCI) includes content from applied linguistics, cognitive science, developmental psychology, economics, informatics, media studies, policy analytics, social neuroscience, and sociology. Graduates can choose from a variety of career opportunities including public education, government, community-based non-profits, research institutions, higher education, and education software development. Many graduates will pursue advanced degrees leading to K-12 teaching, public policy, social work, education research and school leadership.

The B.A. in Education Sciences is not a professional degree. However, graduates are well prepared to pursue teacher training (see UC Irvine School of Education M.A.T. program). Students interested in teaching middle or high school are encouraged to meet with an Academic Advisor to combine the major with a minor or second major, aiming for proficiency in the content area in which they plan to teach (e.g. History). All students in the Education Sciences major are required to complete a minimum of 40 fieldwork hours in an educational setting.
