Minors in the Education Studies program are available in Middle School Teaching, Secondary School Teaching, or Education Studies.

The Middle and Secondary School Teaching minors prepare students for Initial Licensure as teachers of academic subjects and are aligned with Massachusetts regulations. Suffolk University’s Educator Licensure Programs are fully approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Licensed teachers may petition for licensure in every other state through the Massachusetts’ reciprocal agreement with the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC).

The minor in Education Studies is designed for students seeking career paths in education, other than Middle or Secondary School Teaching, such as non-profit and religious education, college access, transition and persistence programs. Additionally, this minor prepares students for graduate work in pre-k, elementary, or special needs education; curriculum and instruction, school counseling, or higher education administration.
