Teaching and learning are lifelong affairs. From overseeing employee training and delivering professional development presentations, to simply helping co-workers and community members understand and implement new ideas, most people will assume the role of an educator at various points throughout their careers.

So to help aspiring leaders understand and apply numerous learning, teaching, and education-based concepts, the College of Education, Health and Society (EHS) is now offering a new minor.

The Education, Teaching and Learning Minor is perfect for students interested in applying effective educational and learning strategies in a way that can complement their primary academic focus. Students will learn educational approaches for non-majors, human development and learning in social and educational contexts, grant writing skills and methods, and more.

This minor does not include teacher licensure, but it can help students understand a wide range of educational issues relevant to a diverse and changing global society.

In rapidly evolving professional landscape where education and information are key, teaching and learning does not end when students leave the classroom. For the most successful, it is only just the beginning.
