The Department of Education and Human Services offers minors in middle school teaching (licensure program), secondary school teaching (licensure program) and education studies (non-licensure program). The middle and secondary school teaching minors prepare students for initial licensure as teachers of academic subjects and are aligned with Massachusetts regulations. The minor in education studies is designed for students seeking other career paths within the education field.

The Education and Human Services Department places students in internships and practica so that they may utilize the knowledge and skills they have acquired through course work and receive feedback from program faculty prior to completion of programs.
