Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Minor in Education

The STEM minor specifically serves students in STEM majors who are considering careers in secondary mathematics or science teaching. The STEM Minor in Education consists of eight courses, totaling 31 units and including 90-100 hours of classroom field placements: EDUC 50 (2 units), EDUC 60, EDUC 100 (2 units), EDUC 185B or 185C, EDUC 185L (2 units), one Education course addressing cultural and linguistic diversity (e.g. EDUC 128, 135, 141, 164, 170, 177, or 181), and two Education upper division electives. Students pursuing the STEM education minor should meet with the Cal Teach staff as early as possible.  Entry into EDUC 50 is by interview only, and interested students must submit an application to the Cal Teach program (see http://calteach.ucsc.edu or email calteach@ucsc.edu).
