The preparation of high-quality K–12 teachers is dependent on both content knowledge and teaching methodologies. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, in cooperation with the School of Education & Human Development, offers an educational studies minor to assist undergraduate students unable to fit licensure course work into their bachelor’s degree and to prepare them for the graduate-level licensure programs.

The CLAS educational studies minor is flexible in design and individually tailored for each student to complete some content requirements required for admission into the graduate-level teacher licensure programs at UC Denver. The educational studies minor requires course work in psychology and human development, democratic schooling principles, a K–12 internship and undergraduate course work required for licensure outside college and major requirements.

The educational studies minor is open to all Downtown Campus undergraduate students. For more information, students should contact the CLAS Advising Office, North Classroom, 4002, 303-556-2555.
