Choosing a minor in education will provide students with a background in education and pedagogy that is useful in a number of careers, but does not lead to the attainment of a teaching certification. Students will learn how to motivate people, develop the ability to plan, organize, and present information, and understand how to evaluate outcomes. Students will also learn how to effectively work in diverse education and community contexts. These aspects of the Education Minor are all skills that are adaptable to many fields including, but not limited to, public health, social work, sociology, psychology, business, and communication.
