Requirements for minor in Education

Students pursuing majors whose course work may serve as a content area for secondary teaching—including English, Mathematics, Sciences, Social Studies, and Spanish—are encouraged to complete an education minor.

The minor does not qualify one for a teaching license but will provide practical training for those whose careers may be enhanced by the ability to teach. The courses also establish a foundation of professional education credit, should the student wish to pursue licensure in the future.
All of the following:
ED 2113 Human Growth and Development
ED 2133 Educational Psychology
ED 2713 Education of the Exceptional Student
ED 3513 Reading in the Content Areas
ED 3183 Educational Assessment
ED 46_3 Curriculum and Instruction: Secondary
Minimum total semester hours: 18
As students progress through the Education courses, they will be required to fulfill each of the following:
1. Pass the JBU Praxis I tests in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.
2. Pass field experience as specified within certain Education courses.
3. Pass modified Gates One, Two, and Three.
4. Pass the Praxis II content tests before enrolling in ED 46_3.
