Minor in Elementary Education
Students who expect to pursue careers in which they will work with pre-school or elementary
school-age children may minor in Elementary Education. This option can strengthen eligibility
for admission to graduate school in such areas as elementary school teaching, school guidance
or psychology, speech pathology, etc. Since certification students in ESS or modern languages
become certified K-12, they often elect to complete this minor, particularly if they would prefer to
teach younger grades. Course requirements include EDUC-202, EDUC/PSYC-265, EDUC-344,
PSYC-345, and one from EDUC-320, 402, 434, or 446. (PSYC-330 is recommended.)
