Education Studies Minor
Coordinator:
Caryl Schunk
The education studies minor helps students achieve knowledge and abilities important to citizens and parents, policy-makers in the work place and creators of learning/teaching activities. They develop habits of mind valuable in most professions and areas of responsibility. Through the minor they are able to explore the possibility of education as a profession and bring closure to that work without commitment to licensure. Most importantly, they create a reflective framework for their own education.
Examples of possible directions for an education studies concentrator: A history major interested in museum education would take the minor and do the final internship in a museum, either here or abroad. A science major interested in environmental education would take the minor and do her/his final internship in an environmental education center, here or abroad.
The minor in education studies is not available to education studies majors.
