Undergraduate Minor in Education

How to Apply


There are 2 steps you need to take in order to apply to the Education minor.

  1. Attend one of the Education Minor Information Sessions.  These sessions, conducted by the Education Minor Advisor, give background information about the minor, review requirements and guidelines, and answer questions.  Education Minor applications are also available at these sessions.

    Information sessions are held several times during the Fall and Spring semesters and last between half an hour and an hour.  If you are unable to attend the Information Sessions, you are welcome to meet with the Minor Advisor during office hours.

  2. Submit an Application Form.  You can obtain an application form at any of the Education Minor Information Sessions, by meeting with the Minor Advisor in 1600 Tolman Hall, or by clicking on this link to the application (PDF).  Please submit your completed form to the Education Minor Advisor.  If you download the application, please note that you are still required to either attend one of the Information Sessions or meet with the Minor Advisor.

Once you have submitted your application, you are considered an Education Minor candidate.  You will be placed on the ED Minor email list and will be notified periodically of ED Minor program updates, courses and policies.

 

When to apply:

We suggest you apply for the Education Minor as soon as possible. It is helpful to apply after you have attended an Information Session (or met with the Education Minor Advisor) and are certain that you would like to complete the program.

Before submitting your application, please consider whether the ED minor is something you truly intend to finish and whether you will have enough time in your schedule to take the 5 required courses.

However, do not wait until you have completed all your requirements before you apply. Submitting your application form early in your program will enable us to keep you apprised of program updates and opportunities that might interest you, as well as assuring that you have adequately completed the requirements.

If you have questions about the application process, please contact the Education Minor Advisor:  edminor@berkeley.edu  or  (510) 643-9303.
