Why Choose Education Studies?
Through Education Studies, students develop into Critical Educators, Transformative Intellectuals, and Public Pedagogues.
The Critical Educator investigates the highly contested meanings and processes of education.
The Transformative Intellectual is aware of personal agency and power to transform communities.
The Public Pedagogue demonstrates communication and interpersonal skills, knowledge and understanding of human development and diversity, and the ability to engage broad contradictory world views.
