By completing a minor in Education, students build a strong foundation for understanding how education systems function and why they matter. The program helps students understand how people learn, develop skills in planning, organizing, and communicating information, as well as analyzing outcomes and engaging effectively in diverse educational and community settings. These experiences prepare students to apply what they’ve learned in a variety of fields, including public health, social work, sociology, psychology, business, and communication. An Education advisor will assist you in choosing Education courses that best fit your goals.
