Notes: One year of college-level, beginning foreign language study or its equivalent must be taken in addition to the required courses for this minor. It is preferred that this minor be chosen by students enrolled in a teacher education program.
If any course required is waived, e.g., in the case of English majors who may not count a course toward both a major and minor, additional courses must be approved so that the student can fulfill the 22 credit hours required for this minor.
Students must follow the requirements of their major program and the School of Education for admission to the PTEP program. This minor may lead to teacher licensure. Please see an advisor.
