English/Language Arts Minor (M)
Do you have a passion for reading and writing? As an Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education major, we encourage you to choose a concentration or minor in a subject you have a passion for and would love to teach. For those who love the beauty of the English language—crafting with words and reading great literature—this is the perfect minor to round out your education at Concordia. This minor is designed so that teachers-in-training who have a true love of the English language, books, and the written word, can pass that joy of English/Language Arts on to their students. The English/Language Arts Education minor includes 18 credits and the concentration includes 12 credits.
