The field of education provides ample opportunities outside of the traditional school setting. The educational studies major at Cedar Crest College is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide you with fundamental knowledge in educational theory and effective practices that relate to teaching and learning in various fields. Unlike other education programs, this major does not lead to teacher certification. Instead, we see you teaching or serving as an instructional leader in a career opportunity outside the typical classroom.
Cedar Crest recognizes that adult students have a lot of responsibilities. That’s why we’ve designed this program to be able to be taken through evening classes so you can more easily complete your education with your schedule.
Cedar Crest is committed to preparing you to make a difference in the workplace by participating in roles that further the education of others, advocate for others, or create a new business opportunity. Some fields that use non-traditional teaching methods may include training and instruction, staff development, non-profit organizations, community outreach, daycare, and children and youth programs. This program includes a 6 credit internship where you will be matched with a local company in line with your future career goals. This opportunity places you in an excellent position for job placement.
As a graduate with a B.S. in Educational Studies, you will have the flexibility to work with children and/or adults in education-related fields. You will be prepared to work in many positions in community education, environmental or outdoor education non-profit service organizations, religious education, or the publishing field. You will also be qualified for advising, student affairs, and admissions work in higher education, or for employment as a program director, corporate trainer, instructional designer, standardized test developer, or private tutor.
Coming to Cedar Crest with some previous credits under your belt? We see how hard you worked for your previous credits, so that’s why we’ve developed a generous transfer credit policy. Our transfer counselors will help you make sure you can finish strong.
