This 18-credit minor is available to all Columbia undergraduates and supports them in developing their understanding of children and adolescents to enhance their career options, such as illustrating or writing children’s books or designing video games.  Through the Education minor, students have the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills relevant to working as teaching artists or media consultants in a range of settings, as well as to more thoughtfully consider career options and graduate programs in Education and related fields such as Counseling/Art therapy or Social Work. A focus is placed on arts integration, a hallmark of the Early Childhood Education program, and a practicum experience is available for qualified students.
