Moment by moment, day by day and person by person, educators ignite minds and strengthen communities. Through a blend of classroom instruction and professional experiences, you'll be prepared to make a difference in the lives of learners and communities.
The education exploratory program enables you as a first-year student to explore various areas in education before you select a major at Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation.
During the program's first year of coursework, which includes four foundational education courses, and through specific cocurricular events scheduled throughout the first and second semesters, you are exposed to all programs and certification areas. You can make an informed decision about the grade level or area of specialization you are interested in while you stay on track to graduate with a bachelor's degree.
Education exploratory is an introductory program offered before you declare a major. It does not lead to a degree, and you need to declare a major after you complete 30 credit hours.

Because of climate change, geopolitical instability or economic factors, the United Nations and other institutions predict that migration will increase globally for the foreseeable future. Learners will migrate to new communities. Increasingly, educators will be asked to meet the needs of students who speak languages other than English and who bring a variety of cultures into classrooms and learning environments. Education students who participate in study abroad programs can prepare for this reality. By engaging in Global Education programs, students can expand their notion of normal schooling and deepen their understanding of how to foster inclusive and inspiring learning environments.
All students in the education exploratory program are poised to graduate from one of the majors within Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation. Information for those career opportunities can be found under each major.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
