Overview

The Educational Studies major offered by Saint Mary's University of Minnesota prepares you to lead educational services in diverse and rapidly changing settings. You can choose between three concentrations: Adult Education Contexts; Child and Family Contexts; and Youth Development and Leadership. Study education theory and examine the processes involved in teaching and learning, emphasizing the social and cultural factors that impact education in and outside the classroom.

Career Options

Students with an educational studies major typically find careers in the area of social and behavioral sciences, educational policy, or education law or policy.

They may teach in settings not requiring state licensing (e.g., adult basic or adult ELL education, community education, environmental or outdoor education, Head Start, long-term volunteering, Montessori or Waldorf training, museum education, religious education, and youth leadership). An educational studies major also prepares students to complete graduate studies in education or related fields.
