In Spring 2023, faculty at Connecticut College approved new program requirements for the major in Educational Studies. These requirements go into effect at the start of the 2023-2024 academic year. All students declaring a major in Educational Studies during the 2023-2024 academic year will be required to complete the new program requirements as listed below.
Any student who declared a major in Educational Studies prior to the start of the 2023-2024 academic year will be held to the major requirements for the catalog year in which they declared. For example, if a student declared a major in Educational Studies in Fall 2022 then the student is held to the requirements in the 2022-2023 academic year catalog. However, students who declared a major in Educational Studies prior to the 2023-2024 academic year may opt to fulfill the new program requirements instead of the requirements for the academic year in which they declared. Talk to your faculty advisor if you wish to switch to the new program requirements.
