Learning Sciences and Technology
Our Learning Sciences & Technology program explores how people learn and how technology can enhance educational experiences. Our Bachelor of Arts in Educational Psychology with a specialization in Learning Sciences & Technology examines how psychological and social theories can be applied to facilitate learning and teaching, with or without technology, in both formal and informal settings across all stages of life. It combines the interconnected areas of cognition, emotion, learning, and instruction, and emphasizes the flexibility to apply innovations in digital technology and inquiry-based learning in diverse educational environments. By focusing on real-world inquiry and problem-based learning, this specialization equips students with job-ready skills in training and instruction using digital tools, preparing them to design effective and inclusive educational solutions.
The Learning Sciences and Technology specialization can be taken within the Educational Psychology program.
