Course of Study for Students Entering Prior to Fall 2024

Courses must be taken in each of the following six domains: (1) Social Justice; (2) Interpersonal Skills, Communication, Planning & Facilitating Groups; (3) Teaching and Learning/Pedagogy/Curriculum/Assessment; (4) Theories and Models of Change/Leadership in Education; (5) Research and Evaluation in Education; and, (6) Digital Technologies in Education. Within and across these six domains, this concentration is designed to develop a comprehensive knowledge and skill set in undergraduate students.

Students may select from one of three courses as their foundational Social Justice course (EDUC 210, SOC 224, or SOC 245). The second required course will be selected in consultation with an advisor based on each student’s personal goals. Given the nature of this concentration (and the content of the remaining domains), students are also encouraged to complete at least one course within the interpersonal skills/communication domain within their first four semesters of study. Courses in domains 3 – 6 should be taken after students have completed at least one course in the first two domains (social justice and interpersonal communications).
 

Restrictions

• All concentration courses must be taken for a letter grade
• A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required
• Independent Studies may not be used to fulfill the core course credits
