Education Minor (20-35 credit hours)

Saint Leo University offers a minor in education for students in other majors who may want to teach at the secondary level, but  for whom teaching is not their first career choice.  The minor is not recommended for students who plan to become certified teachers in K-12 classrooms, because it does not offer the same marketability or extensive professional preparation as the education major.  Students wishing to major in history who plan to teach may consider pursuing a double major in History and Education or an Education major with a specialization in Social Studies.

 
Students enrolled in the education minor will take a 37 hour history core and 20-35 hours of education courses including the following: 

 

• EDU 222 - Teaching Diverse Populations 3 credits
