Teaching Minors

Adding a minor to your education major will complement your teaching credentials, reinforce your areas of interest, and help you become more marketable.

We offer a Reading Instruction minor for students who want to teach reading and literacy skills. This minor will also lay the foundation for a Teacher of Reading license in Minnesota.

Middle Level Minors

Our Middle Level minors go well with the Elementary Education (K–6) major. These minors allow you the flexibility to tap into high-demand subject areas and apply your skills in states outside Minnesota—some states like Wisconsin require a PreK–grade 6 or a grade 1–8 license.

Choose from the following Middle Level minors to be licensed to teach grades 5-8 in the following areas:
