The Graduate School of Education offers a minor especially designed for those students who are considering a career as an elementary teacher. We also offer a minor for students who are generally interested in education or who might consider entering middle of high school teaching. A fast track into teaching is available with the minor for students considering middle or high school teaching; contact Dr. Ossen at the beginning of your senior year.
