Minor In Education

There is currently a need for elementary education, exceptional student education, and secondary education level content area teachers. The Undergraduate Teacher Education Program offers a minor in education that will allow students majoring in English, history, math, life science, or other majors the opportunity to take educational coursework that may provide opportunities to obtain employment in Grade K-12 classrooms. The education minor will give students the strong foundation in teaching necessary to be accepted into an alternative certification program and enter the teaching profession.

Students must have a minimum of 30 and no more than 90 credits to enroll in these courses. In addition, the required 10 hours of field experiences for each course must be completed in an area elementary, middle, or high school. Students will be required to complete any security clearance processes required by the local school district.
