Selected Studies in Education
The School of Education is one of Syracuse University’s oldest and most prestigious schools. True to the spirit of its long history, the School of Education continues to integrate new developments of educational theory into programs designed to prepare students for an ever-changing and ever-diversifying world.
A program for cultural and social transformation designed for Syracuse University students who are interested in education careers but not currently pursuing a teaching certificate, Selected Studies in Education offers a path to a bachelor's degree through a program tailored to a student's individual interests and aspirations. The program is for students planning to enter fields that contain strong educational components, including educational media, international education, counseling, instructional design, evaluation, higher education, child advocacy and youth programming, education and family law, museum studies, disability studies, corporate settings, and related fields. This program does not lead to teacher certification, but enables students who have not yet decided on a teaching career to keep the path open by facilitating entrance into a variety of programs offering master's degrees in teaching.
Selected Studies in Education majors are required to complete an internship and pursue coursework in research and critical inquiry. The study of at least one language other than English is also required. Students work closely with faculty who are dedicated to the culture of education and to engaging with the process of generating bold concepts and transformative ideas for which the School of Education is known.
