BA in Education Studies in Providence United States | Brown University

Undergraduate students focusing on education engage with the subject through a challenging, multifaceted approach that enables them to examine complex issues of access and fairness in practical contexts. Our continuously growing selection of education courses provides opportunities for undergraduates to delve into core topics of race, socioeconomic status, authority, advantage, fairness, and personal identity viewed through an educational perspective. Ranging from foundational classes to specialized seminars, our curriculum explores methods for teaching with social justice in mind, student learning processes, and how educational policies can either foster or hinder access and equality. Our instructors are specialists in pedagogy, cognitive development, educational governance, and the evolution of schooling. We employ an interdisciplinary framework, incorporating viewpoints from anthropology, economics, history, psychology, political science, social services, sociology, and other fields.
