Overview
The Minor in Education allows students to explore instructional practices, research, policy issues, and trends across intersecting educational disciplines and select a focus on either elementary education (18 hours), secondary education (18 hours), or music education (18 hours minimum). Completion of the minor can fulfill the prerequisites for admission to Trinity’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program depending on the courses selected; however, prerequisites can also be fulfilled with select coursework outside of the minor (see M.A.T. prerequisites). The minor is not required for entry into the M.A.T. but is encouraged. The minor is designed for students who are preparing to become teachers, exploring areas of education including those that intersect with other disciplines, interested in teaching in other roles such as teaching English abroad, or pursuing service opportunities such as the Peace Corps or City Year.
