BA/BS in Education, General

The Bachelor of Education Studies centers on teaching and learning across many settings rather than on a classroom teaching license. It does not lead to initial teacher certification. Students examine how philosophy, sociology and developmental psychology shape how instruction is designed, how learning theory applies, and how culture and inclusion matter. The degree stresses global engagement, science and technology, and the local community when planning curriculum and interventions. The School of Education offers the degree online through asynchronous study, on the main St. Louis campus and at the Tashkent campus. As a bachelor's degree, it follows the university's baccalaureate rules, which combine the major with Global Citizenship Program courses and free electives. Transfer students and those weighing campus options should speak with an academic advisor. Applications are submitted online, and transcripts can be sent electronically to the admissions office. Course listings change by catalog year, so the current catalog should guide planning.
