Minor

The undergraduate minor in education is designed to provide a substantial introduction to education through a broad-based and focused study of education research, theory, and practice. The goals of the minor are to develop an understanding of the core issues facing educators and policymakers, make connections to major programs of study, and provide rigorous preparation for graduate studies in education.

Students interested in pursuing an undergraduate minor in Education begin by contacting the minor director (Jennifer Lynn Wolf, jlwolf@stanford.edu), who is responsible for advising all candidates and approving each student’s minor study plan.
