What can you study in the College of Education and Human Development? CEHD offers nine different majors that are separated into four categories: education, business, recreation/fitness, and social sciences/human services.
Today, I will be highlighting our education majors to give you a little bit more background on what your future can hold in CEHD if you would like to become a teacher. (Stay tuned for posts with details about majors in other areas!)
The University of Minnesota has a unique teaching program and several different tracks. Students interested in teaching young or elementary students can major in early childhood education foundations or the elementary education foundations. For those who would like to teach physical education, kinesiology or pre-physical education would be a great fit.
Students interested in teaching higher middle school or high school will major in the subject matter the student wishes to teach (ie. English, math, biology, etc.) and then, in most cases, complete a 15-month intensive teaching program. (Get the details here.) Secondary education students can participate in the DirecTrack to Teaching program to explore the teaching profession as an undergraduate student and get a jumpstart on their teacher education.
