The minor is open to students from all majors. Through a combination of courses, students gain foundational knowledge and skills essential for diverse educational settings. The curriculum integrates licensure courses, making it particularly valuable for those pursuing careers in K12 education, although this minor will not result in licensure. The minor also appeals to students interested in careers beyond teaching, including roles in museums, nonprofits, and organizations such as the Peace Corps. Overall, the program reflects UMW&rsquo;s commitment to interdisciplinary learning and prepares students for impactful roles in various societal contexts.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.umw.edu\/undergraduate\/minors\/education-studies\/#requirementstext\">Requirements<div class=\"arrow\"><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"umw_cb_additional_links":[[]],"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_advisory_expires_time":"","_advisory_meta_include":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"creator":[3],"class_list":{"0":"post-1600","1":"areas","2":"type-areas","3":"status-publish","5":"department-coe","6":"key-minor","7":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Education Studies - Majors, Minors, and Areas of Study<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/study\/areas\/education-studies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Education Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Education StudiesThe minor meets the academic and professional needs of students who are interested in education.
