Students pursuing an Education Studies Concentration align their skills and experience for next steps. This is beneficial for individuals who aspire to complete their undergraduate degree and be equipped to complete a content area Praxis exam and achieve licensure. Already-licensed professionals will be ready to step into leadership roles and push forward into new terrain in their career.

Students may tailor their degree with an Organizational Leadership Customizable Concentration—a set of 18 credit hours in business, healthcare, hospitality or nonprofit leadership. At least nine of these hours must be distinct, ensuring students deepen their expertise in a focused domain while meeting degree requirements. 

Students in this program will graduate with necessary skills to thrive in diverse leadership roles.
