Education Minor

Program Overview

For those who want to strengthen their chosen major with a foundation in education, FGCU's Education Minor program is ideal. Throughout Southwest Florida, the need is great for anyone working in K-12 education. Considering our education majors enjoy an 88%-100% graduate employment rate, an education minor from one of the state's top programs can open many new doors for you after graduation.

Education minors often go on to pursue teaching opportunities in elementary and secondary schools, including both public and private school settings. Many earn graduate degrees and work in areas such as admissions, career counseling, guidance counseling, educational consulting, institutional research, minority/multicultural affairs and policy analysis.
