The minor in Education provides a structured academic opportunity for students who wish to add a fundamental understanding of the field of education as well as practical knowledge in the art and science of teaching and learning to their undergraduate experience.
Designed for students with a strong interest in education and training, the minor will not necessarily lead to the student being recommended for a state teaching certificate; however, should a student decide to also pursue a teaching certificate as a component of their major–or in post-baccalaureate work– the courses required for the minor are applicable to Pennsylvania state certification.
The following courses (EDEX 368 [WI] , EDUC 123, and EDUC 223) require stage 1-2 field experiences. Students must submit current clearances and the appropriate field placement application prior to registering for those courses. For more information regarding stage 1-2 field placements and obtaining clearances, please click on the Field Placement Office website.
