Offered by OSU's College of Education, this program will help you learn how to facilitate learning in social, cultural, environmental and personal contexts. It is designed for non-education majors and provides prerequisite knowledge to pursue graduate work in education and related fields.
The education minor is not part of a licensure program and does not result in a teaching or counseling license.
The Education Minor is predominantly Ecampus. Some classes are in-person, but many of the electives are only offered online.
Gain skills that can be applied to any career
Even if you don’t plan on becoming a classroom teacher in a traditional school setting, pursuing your minor in education will provide you with the knowledge to propel your career in a variety of fields. The education minor can help a public health student more effectively promote healthy behaviors, and it could help a natural resources graduate find work as an environmental educator.
