Educational Studies Minor

The Educational Studies minor introduces education, in a broad sense, as a significant cultural function in society. Using education as a lens, this minor facilitates the development of the 21st century skills necessary for success in a variety of professions. Students develop knowledge, skills, and dispositions to be effective in a wide-range of careers that require strong interpersonal communication, understanding of development and learning, and a multicultural and global perspective on society. This minor provides a marketable complement to many majors across campus.

Students completing the Educational Studies minor are able to apply the coursework toward the Educational Studies major or an Elementary Education major or Secondary Education major, if they choose to complete one of these programs. Please note that students who complete this minor will not meet the competencies necessary to be endorsed for a Wisconsin teaching license.
