Socio-Cultural Perspectives on Education Minor

The Socio-Cultural Perspectives on Education Minor is designed to provide students with in-depth treatment of sociological and cultural variables that influence educational structures and processes. The minor provides opportunities for interested students to study educational processes and structures that are often associated with urban settings and environments that represent significant degrees of cultural diversity. Students take courses that explore social and theoretical perspectives as well as curricular and instructional perspectives. The minor culminates in a community-based field experience that reflects the student’s interests.

Substitution of courses taken in Study Abroad programs may be appropriate, but must be approved by the Education Department Chair in advance.
