Minor Requirements (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 math who plan to teach may consider pursuing a double major in Math and Education or an Education major with a specialization in math.

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

• EDU 222 - Teaching Diverse Populations 3 credits or
• EDU 428 - Education Governance, History, and Philosophy 3 credits (preferred)
