Secondary Educational Foundations Minor
The Secondary Educational Foundations minor is designed to complement the major/subject area preparation of undergraduates who desire to be middle/high school teachers. Rather than waiting until graduate school to begin developing the knowledge necessary for classroom life, the minor gives students a running start as undergraduates.
Students majoring in Educational Foundations are not eligible to minor in Secondary Educational Foundations.
