Characterized by an inquiry-oriented approach to the field of education, coursework in this interdisciplinary minor is integrated into, rather than separated from, the liberal arts curriculum of the College. This course of study is recommended for students who are interested in school administration, public policy and education, school counseling, design and development of curriculum, educational assessment, K-12 private school teaching, graduate studies leading to teaching certification and other related fields. Support from local public school districts allows students to complete upward of 120 hours of field experience in the elementary, middle and/or secondary school environments.

The five-unit minor in education studies consists of EDUC-102 or EDUC-200, EDUC-203 or EDUC-350 and three other courses.

Courses applied toward meeting concentration requirements may not be applied toward a minor in education studies.
