Education Specialties, Minor
The Education Specialties Minor has been developed to include a variety of education courses available to students in all degree programs. The current offerings include education courses in technology, special education, and English as a second language.
The minor will also be available to students in other degree programs as well. Students from diverse programs such as English, psychology, and sociology will benefit from the opportunity to take the classes.
The courses do not follow a sequence, so students may take the classes in any order. Any undergraduate student may choose this minor. Students will declare the minor through the Duck. If education students wish to take the classes for an endorsement or additional certification, they must complete an application, the Intent to Seek an Endorsement form and submit it to the School of Education before they will be allowed to take upper division course work.
