Educational Studies - Elementary

Educational Studies - Elementary is a course of study offered through the Educational Studies Department. It includes one major. The department is located in GDH.

Overview

We don't need no education.

You will learn a lot being an ed major. Well, eventually when you get out of the Ed Department and start actually teaching.

The best piece of advice for anyone thinking about becoming an ed major: avoid taking History of Education (EDUC 202) with Jim Vandergriff as much as possible. Jim himself recommends you do this as he says "all I do is talk at you."
