Students with an Educational Studies minor can pursue careers in informal learning environments (e.g., recreational programs, zoos, museums, ecology centers) as well as a wide range of non-profit organizations and foundations.
Students who intend to complete the Educational Studies minor through the Marquette University College of Education are strongly encouraged to meet with the assistant dean of advising and student services in the Office of Teacher Education as early as possible to avoid program delays.
