Overview

The Educational Studies Minor consists of a minimum of five courses (twenty hours). Educational Studies 201 (American Education) is required.

Three Breadth Courses: The purpose of the breadth requirement is to insure that all majors acquire systematic knowledge in what we view as five central areas. Consequently all minors must take three courses, one selected from three of the following five areas:

  • Psychological Contest of Education,
  • Social Context of Education,
  • Cultural Context of Education,
  • Historical/Philosophical Context of Education, and
  • Methods of Disciplined Inquiry.

One Elective Course: Students must take an additional course to complete the minor. This course will be selected in consultation with the student’s adviser.
