Chair: Professor Anita Chikkatur
Educational Studies offers an interdisciplinary minor as well as general education courses open to all Carleton students. Many of our courses offer field experiences in local schools as well as opportunities to collaborate with a variety of community partners. We approach education as an individual pursuit, an institutional venture, a social issue, and a civic responsibility.
Can I major in it? No, but a minor in Educational Studies is available.
Topics explored: The sociology, history, cultural context, and politics of education; multicultural education; educational psychology; school reform; and educational technology.
How to get started: Interested students should take EDUC 110: Introduction to Educational Studies during their first or second year.
