Program Description
The School of Education offers three education minors:
Each minor provides opportunities for students to study aspects of the field of education that are relevant to their personal interests or professional aspirations.
Completing one of these minors may position students to pursue education related careers or graduate programs, as well as develop understanding of education processes and issues that will benefit them as informed citizens and potential parents.
Completing one of the Education minors does not result in eligibility for Pennsylvania teacher certification. Students may complete all or part of one of the minors and then decide to pursue teacher certification. In this case, all qualifying credits earned in the minor within a seven-year time frame may be applied to a teacher certification program at Gannon.
Students who declare one of the Education minors should work closely with the Director of the School of Education to receive assistance in planning course selections best suited to their interests or aspirations and to review field experience requirements.
Education Minor
This minor provides individuals with an overview of key elements of education. The information is useful for students who are thinking that they may want to pursue certification but are unsure, for students who may want to volunteer in youth programs or for students who want to be more informed about the American education process.
