The College of Education offers a Minor in Education (MIE) to non-education majors. The MIE will provide undergraduate students with a unique learning opportunity to examine and participate in the field of education, without the need to be enrolled in a College of Education program. The MIE is tailored to all classified students who are interested in education as a second discipline of specialization that will complement their major studies as well as those who want to explore education as a viable career option as they work to complete their bachelor’s degree.

Requirements

Requirements for the MIE are as follows. Applicants must:

Be a classified student in good academic standing with the University and their respective major;
Complete a required course (3 credits): STE 403E
Complete 4 additional elective courses (12 credits) from the MIE approved list
Earn a minimum grade of “C” (not C-) or better in all individual MIE courses and maintain a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA for the MIE courses.

Notes:

Courses taken for the MIE are not permitted to double count for credits towards Major requirements. For more information, please contact the Office of Student Academic Services in Everly 126; (808) 956-7915; osas@hawaii.edu; coe.hawaii.edu/osas.
