Learning sciences is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that tackles key questions about learning and education. This specialization within the Learning, Cognition, Instruction, and Development concentration prepares students for interdisciplinary work investigating contexts and processes of learning and teaching in a variety of school and out-of-school settings. Through coursework and research experiences, our students are exposed to the three major themes that permeate research and theory in the learning sciences: social context, cognition, and design.
