Master of Arts - Learning Sciences

Program Description

ASU's Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is one of the top-ranked graduate colleges of education in the U.S. We understand that the creativity that fuels the great innovations of our time is the same force that animates great educators. Our graduate programs develop collaborative leaders who bring people and ideas together to improve systems and strengthen communities.

The MA program in learning sciences proceeds from an understanding that learning happens in many places that include but are not limited to schools. 

This program focuses on the power of design thinking to improve educational systems and provides students with a blend of theoretical insights and practical tools that will prepare them to shape learning environments and experiences. The systems-level approach includes cognitive, social and contextual factors and the interactions among them. 

Graduates of the program will be equipped to design effective learning systems in a broad range of formal and informal settings that include museums, libraries, workplaces and schools and will be well-prepared to become leaders in the development, integration and improvement of learning and teaching systems.
