Educational Studies (BAE)
Education is not confined to schools or the first part of our lives; people learn in a variety of settings and at all ages. Arizona State University’s online Bachelor of Arts in Education with a concentration in educational studies allows you to explore the impact of education on society, the act of learning and your role as an educator. You can tailor your studies to your professional interests and gain experience through a series of internships while improving your community.
