What you study	Education Studies	Education Studies Psychology	Education Studies Psychology
What it is	You study how education works — teaching methods, learning science, school systems, and the social side of how people learn — rather than training to teach in a classroom. This program includes co-op work terms where you gain real experience in schools and education settings alongside your coursework. It suits students curious about education as a field of study who want hands-on experience before deciding whether to pursue teaching, educational leadership, or other education-related careers.	You study how young children develop and learn, combining education theory with psychology. Unlike a general education degree, this program focuses specifically on the early years — typically birth to age eight — and prepares you for work in childcare, preschools, or early intervention. It suits people who want to support children's growth during their most formative period and understand the thinking behind quality early childhood practice.	This program combines the study of how people learn and develop with the science of human psychology. You'll examine how children and adults acquire knowledge, process information, and grow emotionally and socially, using research methods and psychological theory. It suits students interested in education, child development, or understanding learning itself — whether you're considering teaching, school psychology, or roles in educational planning and research.
