Secondary Education Minor Minor Requirements Students must complete 18 credits to receive a Secondary Education minor. The Secondary Education minor meets the majority of requirements for the California Preliminary Single Subject Teaching Credential. See the Professional Teacher Preparation section of the catalog under the Liberal Studies, Elementary Education, B.A. (p. 94) program.
The mission of the Science and Theology minor is to provide students with a greater depth in the philosophy and history of science than is available in a standard science curriculum. This affords the student a rich background and context to best integrate science and theology.
