The BAE program in Educational Studies prepares students to work with children, youth and adults within nonprofit settings, community institutions, civic organizations and businesses. Students develop skills for effective communication, collaboration, leadership, advocacy and innovation, all of which are essential to education professionals. Students focus on one of 11 core tracks, pursuing additional coursework and expertise in: business community health environmental education family and human development global studies health innovations nonprofit administration organizational leadership personal health political science recreation management Educational Studies students complete a series of internships as well as a capstone project. The first internship supports students in examining an education challenge at a nonprofit. The second internship provides students with the opportunity to prototype a solution to an education challenge in their choice of nonprofit, business or government setting. For the senior capstone, students return to one of their previous internships to implement a solution. An educational studies minor is also available to ASU students in other degree programs. This program does not lead to teacher certification. Students seeking teacher certification should enroll in one of the other Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College undergraduate programs.
