Overview

In the Educational Studies program of Loyola Marymount University, you take 30 units of coursework: 4 core courses (12 units), and 6 elective courses (18 units) selected in consultation with your academic advisor. Because you can choose your electives from any of the School of Education's available courses, this program offers you maximum flexibility in designing your study plan, including, for eligible educators, completing an Added Authorization (Literacy Authorization or Bilingual Authorization) for your California Teaching Credential.
