It may also attract students interested in international education1 and those planning to pursue a doctoral degree where an educationally related master’s is a prerequisite. The courses identified in the Educational Studies degree are drawn from various programs within the School of Education, including Childhood and Adolescent Education, Early Childhood Education, Literacy Education, Special Education, TESOL, and Higher Education.
