Requirements for the Education & Applied Psychology Minor
- The Minor requires a minimum of 18 upper division quarter units with a grade of C, P or better. Students can take up to 5 units Pass/No Pass. Five units can be taken for Independent Study (Education 199 or Education 199R). Because the number of units for courses are subject to change and some courses have variable units, the number of units applied to the minor will be the number of units appearing for a course on a student's transcript.
- Substitution Policy:
Community College and other lower division courses may NOT be used as a substitution for any minor course.
Six upper division quarter units can be transferred from another college or university besides UCSB if the units are approved by the course instructor and faculty advisor in the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. There is no limit on how many units can be applied from courses at UCSB, if approved. - Three Core Education courses including one practicum are required. The remaining units for the Minor can be selected from the course Electives.
- Students will choose a track to follow for their minor in Education and Applied Psychology: the Educational Studies Track, the Teacher Preparation (TEP) Track or the Applied Psychology: Counseling, Clinical, School Psychology (CCSP) Track. Each track specifies the required Core courses and Electives for that track
- The Minor requires a minimum of 18 upper division quarter units with a grade of C, P or better.
- Students can count a maximum of 5 units Pass/No Pass towards the minor.
- Only 5 units may overlap between a student’s major and minor.
- Using two 4-unit courses from your major department towards your minor: You must have enough required courses/units taken for your major while counting only one of the two courses meant of the minor. Your major department will need to count only one of the two courses on your major degree check. Gevirtz will count both courses on your SMI minor degree check. Only one course (up to 5 units) may appear on both your major and minor degree checks.
- Students must take 5 courses: 1 from ‘A: California Teach,’ 2 from ‘B: Education core courses,’ 1 ‘C: Disciplinary Content’ and 1 ‘D: Disciplinary Practicum.’
Requirements for the Minor in Science and Mathematics Education
Necessary Steps:
1. Check with your undergraduate advisor in your major department that this still allows you to finish your major.
2. Discuss which course from your department that will not be counted towards your final major degree check.
3. Inform the GGSE Student Affairs Office who your undergraduate advisor is and which course will not be counted towards your major degree check.
Please note that all of the required courses for this minor have pre-requisites.
General Information for Both Minors
The appropriate “Petition to Declare the Minor” for either the Education and Applied Psychology minor or the Minor in Science and Mathematics Education must be turned into the Gevirtz Graduate School (GGSE) Students Affairs Office (Education 4100) in order for a student to be awarded the Education and Applied Psychology Minor or the Minor in Science and Mathematics Education.
It is the student’s responsibility to contact the GGSE Student Affairs Office within the first 2 weeks in the quarter in which the degree is anticipated to certify fulfillment of degree requirements for the Office of the Registrar.
Student Technology Fee
Initially, the Student Technology Fee (STF) will provide technological enhancements to school members and guests. The STF will be assessed $2.50 per unit for the 15 units of ED or CNCSP courses taken each quarter and will be charged automatically to students’ BA/RC accounts. The fee is officially assessed during the 3rd week of each quarter; thus, students who drop a course after the third week census will still incur the per-unit charge. Please refer to the ITGWiki FAQ page for more details.
