Science Teaching Minor for Elementary Education

22 hours; 2.75 minor GPA required; C or better required

The elementary science teaching minor is a broad-based program of study that includes coursework in biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, and physics. Students pursuing the minor complete a prescribed set of required courses. In some cases (BIOL and GEOL), students have a choice of courses that will satisfy the program requirements. This minor is an alternative to existing minors in biology, chemistry, geology, and physics and is open only to students majoring in Elementary Education.
