Minor in Education and Society


The Minor in Education and Society, which is administered by the College of Education, provides an opportunity for students interested in the intersection of learning, education, and society. The minor is a valuable addition for those pursuing careers in the social and behavioral sciences, law, social justice, or education. This minor does not offer professional training for teaching or lead to a teaching certificate or license.

The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs at Michigan State University other than the Bachelor of Arts degrees in Education and Special Education.  With the approval of the department and college that administers the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.

Students who plan to complete the requirements for the minor should consult with the academic advisor for the Education and Society minor in the College of Education.
