Why Study Educational Studies Online at the University of Arkansas?

The Educational Studies degree is an online bachelor’s degree housed within the College of Education and Health Professions for any student who seeks to focus on the larger field of education, as opposed to the specific classroom teaching experience.

Students completing the online degree program in Educational Studies will have worked in a strong, interdisciplinary field constructed of courses offered in Educational Studies (EDST), Curriculum and Instruction (CIED), Counseling Education (CNED), Social Work (SCWK), as well as elective offerings through Psychology (PSYC), Sociology (SOCI), Recreation and Sports Management (RESM), and Public Health (PBHL).
Graduates traditionally seek employment through nonprofit educational services, private or charter school teaching, for-profit business educational services, community or government services, or academic graduate school placements.
