Education Minor

The Education minor is designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of human learning as it occurs in formalized educational contexts. Courses within the minor introduce students to K-12 structures and processes and explore learning through developmental, cultural, historical/philosophical, and technological perspectives. Students who complete the minor requirements will have completed the pre-professional coursework necessary to apply to the Teacher Education Program for secondary programs (Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, English) should they so choose. Students who choose not to apply to the Teacher Education Program will gain a depth of understanding of human learning and educational practices that prepares them to make informed educational decisions as citizens and that provides a foundation for executing job-embedded training that can be applied across career fields.

(Successful completion of this minor helps prepare students to enter the Teacher Education Program, but does not make them eligible for teacher licensure.)
