The Education minor without certification is designed for students who are not majoring in Education. This Education minor does not lead to teacher certification.
There are three pathways, depending upon professional goals: education minor without certification paired with any major; education minor without certification paired with a theology major for those students interested in theological education (campus ministry or teaching theology); and education minor without certification paired with a psychology major for those students interested in speech and language pathology or counseling graduate programs. These education minors do not lead to teacher certification.
Upon completion of a Declaration of Minor Form, the Director of Teacher Education will assign an advisor to the student.
During advising meetings, an individualized plan of study will be developed for each student. Refer to the plan of study for the timing of the courses. In addition to core and major requirements, the following five minor courses are required
