Meet Courtney

I chose Winthrop because it has the best teaching program in South Carolina. Winthrop is also very close to my parents’ house. My mom did not want me to go to college too far away. My experience with my major in Educational Studies has been wonderful. It saved me money on having to pay for the Praxis core test. It allows me to bypass retaking physics. I highly recommend this major to others who are considering this major. I wish I was told about this major soon. This major is allowing me to graduate early and with a minor in Human Development and Families Studies. This major has more benefits for my personal life. My plan after graduation is to get my Masters in Elementary Education and start my career as a teacher! I plan on going to Law School and becoming a criminal lawyer too!

Meet Ellery

I chose Winthrop because of the amazing educational programs offered at the university, and the beautiful campus plus all of the other offerings Winthrop provides such as clubs, intramurals, and Greek life. 

I have really enjoyed the program, It has given me a way to achieve what I want to study, in a way that is really flexible for my double major and will set me up for success in the future and Graduate level study.  I plan to attend graduate school here at Winthrop and get a degree in special education, as well as a middle level and secondary add on for science. I want to teach in a public school in the state. Just be ready to learn, and accept all of the information you will be presented with. The professors and staff are super knowledgeable, and helpful.
