Major and Minor in Education Studies
How to Declare a Major or Minor in Education Studies
When? Spring semester of your second year.
Note: Students planning to pursue a Major or Minor in Secondary Education with Teacher Certification are encouraged to meet with the Program Advisor, Margo Schall, early – during the first semester of your second year – to develop an initial course of study.
How?
1) Meet with your Education Minor Advisor to discuss and map your course of study (see below for Advisor information).
2) Complete the Declaration of Major/Minor form (at HC) or a Work Plan form (at BMC). Include the education courses you have already taken and those you intend to take. This form can be submitted online, and will be sent to your advisor for review and approval.
i) Bryn Mawr
ii) Haverford
Once you submit your online form to the registrar, it will automatically be sent to your advisor for review and approval.
