Units required for Minor: 12

Program Description

In addition to University-based courses, the minor can include a field-based course in an educational setting with high numbers of children and adolescents from diverse backgrounds. Students develop a coherent course of study in education and diversity with a Bilingual/Multicultural Education (BMED) Advisor and approval from the BMED Chair. This minor is especially recommended for students seeking the bilingual authorization for their teacher credential offered through the BMED Multicultural/Multilingual Teacher Preparation Center.

Courses in the minor offer students the opportunity to explore the issues of race, culture, language, class, gender, and ability/disability, and their relationship to education.
