Minor Requirements

Educational Foundations Core (6 cr.)

• H530 Philosophy of Education (3 cr.)
• One other 500-level H-course in the School of Education approved by the advisor for the minor (3 cr.)

For most students, the second foundations core course should be:

• H504 History of American Education (3 cr.)

For students whose Ph.D. major already includes H504, the second foundations core course may be:

• H510 Foundations of Educational Inquiry (3 cr.)
• H525 Anthropology of Education (3 cr.)
• H540 Sociology of Education (3 cr.)
• H560 Education and Change in Societies (3 cr.)

In special circumstances, the advisor for the minor may approve a substitution for the second foundations core course, such as an additional 600-level H-course in the philosophy of education taught in the School of Education beyond what is required for the philosophy of education specialization.

Philosophy of Education Specialization (6 cr.)
In most instances, the specialization will consist of two 600-level H-courses in the philosophy of education taught in the School of Education.

In special circumstances, the advisor for the minor may approve the substitution for one of the two specialization courses a relevant graduate course in philosophy taught in the Philosophy Department or a 500-level H-course in the philosophy of education taught in the School of Education.

In all cases, the student must complete at least one 600-level H-course in the philosophy of education taught in the School of Education.

The doctoral minor in Philosophy of Education does not require a minor qualifying exam.
