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 preparation as the major. . It is a 20–23-hour* minor with an optional second practicum and an optional extra semester for a full-time internship teaching experience.
