The faculty are one of the best parts of the Educational Studies program. They were passionate about helping me become the best person that I wanted to be and were focused on me as a person, not just a number in the program.

My time in the Educational Studies program taught me how to think on my feet and help students feel safe, supported, and at home on campus.

Thanks to the 51±¬ÁÏ Education Department, I had ample opportunities to implement and observe the impact of effective, research-based strategies with special education students in local schools. Engaging in special education coursework at 51±¬ÁÏ is immensely rewarding.
