When the 2026-2027 catalog goes into effect, the Education & Learning major will change its name for all new students. Students following the 2025-2026 and prior catalogs will still graduate with a major in Education & Learning. Because of the transition, students may find that courses in their major are located under the “Education Studies” when searching by subject or under the “EDST” prefix in Boxer Online. If you need assistance locating a course, please contact your advisor.
