Educational Studies Department

Programs

Honors Program

Qualified students are encouraged to become involved in the division's Honors Program. Admission to the Honors Program depends on minimum criteria established by the college and invitation by division faculty.  See Division website (www.des.emory.edu).

Study Abroad

Students in Educational Studies are encouraged to spend on semester, usually during the junior year, abroad in program coordinated by Emory's CIPA office.  With the approval of the student's Division advisor, some credit toward the major or minor may be earned.

Advising

When declaring a major or minor, a student is assigned a faculty advisor, and an academic file is maintained for academic advisement documentation. Students are expected to have appointments with the advisor at least once a semester for program planning and course scheduling. Official correspondence with each student is sent by email from Division staff, instructors, and faculty advisors.

Independent Research and Study

If they wish, majors may conference with faculty who may supervise or sponsor an independent study (EDS 497R: Directed Study: Special Topic)or specialized literature research (EDS 497R: Supervised Reading). Varied credit may be earned toward the 16 elective hours of the major depending on the size, depth or breadth of the study.
