The Department of Teacher Education offers an Education minor. Though the minor is not recognized for teacher licensure, the package of course work does provide a strong educational background for whatever teaching one may encounter: internationally, at the university level, in a non-traditional program, or in any career which would involve teaching others. Content areas other than English, mathematics, or social studies must be approved by the Department of Teacher Education.
