The History minor is available to students desiring to teach at the middle (grades 5 to 9) or high school level (grades 7 to 12). It requires a double major with one of the education majors described in the College of Education section and a major in an approved subject matter for teachers. In addition, you may select a history minor.

Teacher Education Secondary: Grades 5 to 12
