Educational Practices

Minor

The Educational Practices minor provides you the opportunity to explore the field of education, even if you are not certain teaching is in your future. Through the minor, you will gain fundamental skills for sharing information and engaging learners in a meaningful way. Plus, you will select an area of focus that aligns with your personal and professional goals. While the minor builds a foundation for K-12 teaching, it does not in and of itself qualify an individual for an educator license.

Please note: students pursuing an Education major (Elementary, Secondary, Art Education) are not eligible to earn the Educational Practices minor.
