Bachelor in Educational Studies
UW-Superior was founded as a teacher education college in 1893, and we remain committed to that strong heritage of innovation and quality in our education programs today. The early childhood, elementary, high school and specialty area educator preparation programs each equip students to serve as educators who will make a lasting difference in the lives of their students. Teaching is one of the world’s most impactful professions, and it can also be one of the most challenging and rapidly changing. Our faculty keep pace with these changes, teaching the latest instructional methods and best practices for supporting students’ unique academic and social-emotional needs in diverse and inclusive classrooms.
The Educational Studies major is a non-licensure pathway that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the role of education in society, without leading to teacher licensure. Students receive a formal education in teaching and learning in non-traditional educational settings and is ideal for those who are interested in education, human development and teaching in non-traditional settings. It is also a flexible option for students who began a licensure track but found it wasn’t the best fit, allowing them to apply many of those earned credits toward this degree.
The Educational Studies major is available in both on-campus and fully online formats, offering students the flexibility to pursue their degree in a way that meets their individual needs. The major is non-comprehensive, meaning a minor is required to complete the 120-credit graduation requirement.

Many students benefit from working part-time while going to college. Employment helps students finance their education and provides opportunities for them to gain experience and to develop skills for future success in the career world.
Federal College Work-Study is a need-based financial aid offer that allows a student to work and earn money. Work study is a dollar allotment provided as part of your financial aid offer, and not automatically applied to your account like other financial aid. Dollars are earned by the student employee and are paid on a bi-weekly basis via direct deposit. Employment through the federal work study program is not a guarantee and should not be relied on as a manner for covering a student’s bill. Any UW-Superior student with a work-study offer may apply for work-study jobs.
Student Assist is on-campus employment that is not a part of a financial aid offer. Any UW-Superior student who is enrolled at least half-time may apply for student assist jobs.
