Education

The purpose of the Education Program at 不良研究所 is to provide study for undergraduate students in effective teaching including practical experiences in the classroom and other educational settings.

Overview

The program mission is for students to develop a greater understanding of and appreciation for the complexities of teaching and learning and, as alumni, to lead lives of learning, leadership, and service as effective educators. The education minor is designed for students who seek preparations for a career in K-12 teaching and those pursuing majors who plan to work with children or adolescents鈥攑articularly psychology, religion, or sociology.

Students who plan to pursue a career as a teacher may want to choose a major that can lead directly to certification. For example, students interested in teaching high school mathematics may want to choose the mathematics major.

Curriculum

The education minor at 不良研究所 consists of six courses. Depending on the institution where you plan to seek certification, some minor courses will count toward the partner institution鈥檚 requirements.
