About our Educational Studies Program
The Educational Studies major is available for students as an alternative to a certification program. It is important to note that candidates who complete this major are not eligible to be recommended for state teaching certification with this degree alone. However, you will become familiar with educational processes and settings, and receive the preparation needed to pursue a career in education through an alternative route.
As a CMU Educational Studies major, you will have opportunities to:
- build an in-demand skill set while taking classes that prepare you to work in education
- develop workplace skills that allow you to naturally analyze information, answer questions, communicate effectively, develop ideas, hold an audience’s attention, and encourage others to grow and learn
- participate in hands-on learning through projects, observational and field experiences, and internships
- become a candidate for employment who is highly desired for your creativity and leadership skills
- receive the preparation needed to earn an advanced degree
