Education Studies Minor
Students in the education studies minor study education as a multidimensional and interdisciplinary area of study. Across courses in the minor program, students have an opportunity to understand the social, political, historical and cultural contexts that have shaped schooling practices and educational experiences. Students explore the competing tensions and inherent challenges within educational environments and develop a clear analysis of the role of equity, diversity and access.
Requirements for the Education Studies Minor
The education studies minor consists of five courses across three dimensions:
-
Students will take at least one of the following education core courses: EDUC 120, EDUC 214, or EDUC 215.
-
Students will choose four additional courses from the Education Research and Theory course list. Students may, in consultation with their advisor, select courses that reflect an area of concentration.
-
Within the five-course minor program, students must take at least one 300-level education course from the Education Research and Theory course list.
Upon consultation with their advisor, students may substitute one of the required courses with a Curriculum and Teaching course or an Education Electives course. No more than one 100-level course (beyond EDUC 120) may be included in the minor.
Note: Not all of these courses are offered every year; some may be limited to majors in these fields.
Education studies advisors: Soo Hong, Pamela D'Andrea Martínez, Maureen Morgan, Noah Rubin or Diane Tutin.
