Education (Option)
The Option in Education is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in elementary or intermediate education; it encourages exploration of some subjects of the school curriculum that might be outside a student's major area of study. The option provides a solid foundation in a range of curriculum subjects that are required teaching within schools and will support students in constructing their own understanding of these curriculum areas.
An option is a “mini-minor” – a set of courses in one discipline that can be completed in conjunction with any undergraduate degree program, allowing you to focus on an additional subject of interest.
