About the Program
The Education Studies minor provides students considering careers or graduate studies in education-related fields insight into the role and function of education across society.
The minor is interdisciplinary, exposing students to an array of relevant topics, and is designed to complement a student’s main program of study. It can provide a preparatory pathway for subject-specific teacher training in a range of majors from across the arts, humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences.
Students are exposed to education theory, practice, and pedagogy broadly, laying the foundation for future study and career opportunities, whether this be in elementary or secondary schools, educational counseling, museums and galleries, child and youth organizations, or youth civic engagement programs. Students select courses that target teaching in areas of greatest interest to them.
