Secondary Education Minor

        A 16-hour minor in secondary education (SEN) is available to juniors and seniors in the College of Lib-eral Arts and Sciences, and in cer-tain circumstances, to students from other col-leges. Using the application to add or cancel a minor available from the Office of the University Registrar, a student seeks approval (signature) of the dean in his/her college and presents a 2.60 GPA, 1010 SAT or 21 ACT.  The application form is submitted to 134-E Norman Hall for approval.

        It should be understood that such a minor is pre-paratory to entering the ProTeach secondary master of education program, and preparatory to meeting state certification requirements.

General Education Minor

        The intent of this minor is to provide students with a clearer understanding of the purposes and function of education and the social and psycho-logical forces that affect young people. The minor is not intended to lead to teacher certification. This minor may lead to non-school focused graduate programs in the Department of Instruc-tion and Curriculum, such as preparation for curator positions in museums, zoos, aquariums and nature centers. Students are required to have the ap-proval of their colleges on the “Application to Add or Cancel a Minor” available from the Office of the Uni-versity Registrar.  Courses from this general minor may not be substituted for the secondary PROTEACH minor.

        A student who chooses this minor is expected to complete 15 hours with grades of “C” or better from the courses listed below. Courses must be selected from at least three of the five sections.  No course substitutions are permitted.
Each course is three semester hours except ESE 3034 and SDS 3481, which are two semester hours, and EME 4200, which is four semester hours.
