Education Studies Minor

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:

  1. Students will take at least one of the following education core courses: EDUC 214, EDUC 215 or EDUC 216.

  2. 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 concentration.
