The Education Minor Program is designed for students majoring in other disciplines who may have an interest in education.
Students in the Education Minor Program are also strongly advised to take all sections of the Praxis tests. Education minors should also read all of the state requirements for teacher certification.
Minors in education are offered in four areas: Elementary, Secondary, Health, and Physical Education. A student should choose to minor in one of the four areas and complete the 18 hours of course work listed for that specific discipline area.
