Overview

This interdisciplinary approach from Catholic University of America enables students to examine the impact of political, historical, psychological, cultural, economic, and social forces on education.

The distinction between Education Studies and Teacher Education

While graduates of the Education Studies program will have developed a rich understanding of education, the program does not lead to a teaching license. Rather it is designed for students who are interested in studying education as a social science, developing skills related to analyzing educational and other social policies, working in non-school settings, such as governmental and nonprofit organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), engaging in educational media analysis and development, and/or preparing for graduate studies in education, law, the social sciences, or business.

What makes this program unique?

Interdisciplinary Focus: Students majoring in education studies have a wide variety of minors and specialty areas available to them and may choose from many disciplines offered across the University. Popular choices for education studies majors include psychology, sociology, history, business, media and politics.

Through its several foci, the program in education studies teaches students how to enter, manage, or begin businesses related to education; or how to design educational products; or how to obtain employment in educationally related mass media, including public relations, advertising or print journalism. Education studies students can focus on education issues relevant to the work place, or the U.S. justice system, or those of concern to special populations, or those germane to second language education and cultural diversity.
