Minor in Educational Studies

Support the development of children, youth, and adults.
Montreat’s Educational Studies minor equips students with strong pedagogical skills for teaching roles outside traditional certification pathways. Ideal for those exploring K–12 education or ministry, the program blends academic training with a biblical view of teaching as a God-given calling.

Why Educational Studies?

The educational studies minor offers a pathway for students majoring in other areas who wish to gain a background in education. This minor is particularly beneficial for students interested in pursuing lateral entry into K-12 education in the future.

While teaching is scripturally identified as a gift from God (Romans 12:6-7; Ephesians 4:11-12), there are many opportunities to exercise this gift beyond teacher certification. The Educational Studies program offers the same high level of pedagogical instruction and training as the certification pathway, fully preparing graduates for their calling and career in various non-certification roles.
