Rigorous Academics
As a student in the program, you will do substantial reading, engage in creative and high-level analytic thought, and display strong writing and speaking skills.
Commitment to Social Justice
As a Jesuit, liberal arts college, we take very seriously the idea that we should be concerned with social justice issues — how removing disparities in educational opportunities and experiences can lead to a more just society. This concern is evidenced in our curricular requirements, as well as our pre-practicum and practicum experiences.
Who’s an Education Minor?
Students in a variety of majors, including sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, are represented among our education minors.
