Program: Education Minor - Clark University

Minor Requirements

A Minor in Education is not required in order to qualify for the Accelerated Masters in Teaching program. The education minor reflects Clark’s focus on urban education. It supports both students who are aiming to qualify for the Master of Arts in Teaching program and any student interested in education.

The minor consists of any six courses in Education; complementary courses in another disciplines may be included if preapproved. Otherwise, the array of courses is flexible. Occasionally, a student will set up an individual directed study, internship, or research course with an Education faculty member based on a particular interest.

Most students take EDUC 152 Complexities of Urban Schooling as their first course in Education; this course is required for anyone interested in the accelerated degree program leading to the Master of Arts in Teaching degree.

First year students who have taken a First Year Intensive in Education may include that course in the minor. Accelerated degree candidates will take two courses in their senior year earmarked for the accelerated degree (students aiming for the elementary teaching program may take three) that may count towards the minor as well.

Please contact the Education Program Administrator, Andrea Allen, (aallen@clarku.edu) for more information.
