Minor in Education

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 his or her major—or in post-baccalaureate work— the courses required for the minor are applicable to Pennsylvania State certification.
