Graduate students may pursue an Option A minor in international education. Option A minors are distributed minors. This means that courses are selected from across departments and must all be chosen from departments other than the student’s home department. Participating School of Education departments offering courses toward an Option A (distributed) minor are Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, Educational Policy Studies, Counseling Psychology, Dance, and Art.
Students choosing an Option A (distributed) minor select, in consultation with the chair of the School of Education Global Education Committee (currently Maggie Hawkins) and an advisor from their home department, education-related courses with significant international content. An Option A minor must be approved in accordance with the student’s home department procedures. Forms for distributed minors are available in students’ home departments.
The 12-credit Option A minor in international education is composed of core international education courses (graduate-level courses from outside the home department). These core courses comprise a minimum of 50 percent of content devoted to international topics/issues. Courses must be distributed as follows: at least one 3-credit course from category 1 (see below) with an emphasis on disciplinary theory or research; three additional courses selected from the four categories at the 300 level or above, depending on the requirements of the home department. Students are expected to achieve a B or better in four international education courses at the 300 level or above in order to qualify for the Option A minor.
