Courses
ESS is an interdisciplinary minor and consists of courses from a variety of disciplines. When choosing courses, please keep the following in mind:
- The Intro class, "Education, Schooling, and Society" should be taken by the middle of your junior year.
- At least two of your three electives must be from our "Education Focused" category. The third elective may be either "Education Focused" or "Education General."
- The electives you choose should be from different disciplines, with only one elective allowed from your major area of study (and which cannot be double counted for your major).
- Three credits of Research Lab (ESS 47602) can be counted as one Education-focused elective.
- The "Seminar in Educational Research" is only offered during the Fall of Senior year.
- Seniors who choose the option to incorporate education into a Thesis in their Major to fulfill their Capstone requirement must take an additional Education Focused elective.
- ESS is willing to consider, on a case-by-case basis, courses not cross-listed with ESS but that have applicable content. For approval of a course, please contact Maria McKenna (mmckenn9@nd.edu) to discuss.
