Educational Studies Minor
The knowledge and skills taught in education are valuable in many fields. A person who wishes to work with people in a training or presentation role would benefit from a minor in Educational Studies. Examples – A trainer in a company, an employee who creates presentations or learning activities for a museum, a nurse who educates families in how to take care of medical needs, a camp counselor, or a person who wishes to continue on to graduate school to become a college professor. The minor in Educational Studies does not lead to a Class B certification in Alabama. Students interested in obtaining the certification required to teach in the public school classroom should refer to the major programs in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership in the undergraduate catalog.
