The Programs
Humboldt State University has a long tradition
of teacher education dating back to
1914, when it first opened as a Normal
School. Over the years, Humboldt has prepared
many of the teachers of this region
while developing a reputation for innovation
and close cooperation with local school districts.
One of every seven Humboldt students
is involved in some phase of teacher education
(including undergraduate preparatory
programs).
Humboldt’s teacher education programs
enjoy positive working relationships with
the local schools that accommodate credential
candidates from year to year. With
the cooperative efforts of supportive school
administrators, excellent mentor teachers,
university professors, and university supervisors,
candidates receive the individual attention
that makes their credential-year experiences
most rewarding. Humboldt offers the
following credentials/programs:

The Program
The minor in education provides an overview
of the field and offers students opportunities
to learn more about teaching and other
education careers during their undergraduate
years. Those who have already chosen
teaching as a career find that the minor
provides a strong background in many cutting-edge
contemporary issues. The minor
also provides excellent preparation for other
careers where skills related to teaching,
classroom management, and creation of
learning communities are increasingly in demand
(business, nursing, sociology, psychology,
public administration, recreation, social
work, coaching, community organizing).
Those seeking a foundational understanding
of educational issues for future roles as
parents, citizens, and taxpayers may also
find the minor helpful.
