The School of Education is proud to announce a new minor in adult learning and talent development.

Do you like designing or running presentations? Do you enjoy teaching but would rather teach adults, working at for-profit or non-profit organizations? Do you like to investigate and solve problems? Training and Talent Development professionals come from all majors and often start their careers with a bachelor’s degree.

The adult learning and talent development minor requires 12 credit hours in creative and “out-of-the-box” courses such as designing learning, learning and technology, and performance consulting. Students will also complete a practical capstone, a project they may add to their portfolio and show future employers.

The six remaining credit hours come from approved electives. We especially recommend elective courses in psychology, digital media, technical writing, leadership, and human resource management.
