Minor in Urban Education
The School of Education offers a Minor in Urban Education designed to give students an overview of the complexities of urban education, historically, socially, politically, economically, and culturally, in the United States. Students will be required to take at least three of the five courses in the School of Education. This program of study allows students to begin considering the unique challenges faced by students and educators in, and the communities surrounding, urban schools. While there is an emphasis on the social, political, and historical impacts on educational systems in large cities in the US, there is also study of instructional issues especially pertinent to urban schooling. The Minor in Urban Education consists of five courses, one required and four electives from a variety of departments across campus.
