Trinity's minor in education will give students a foundation in current educational theories and practices to capably pursue dreams of teaching in a specific academic field, working in special education, or becoming a school counselor.<\/p>\n<p>Trinity's courses in education\u00a0provide a core of knowledge, skills and field-based experiences and include performance assessments designed to demonstrate a teacher\u2019s ability to impact student learning. Our programs are state approved and nationally recognized by the National Council on the Accreditation of Teacher Education (N.C.A.T.E.), and our course syllabi and classroom activities reflect the standards of the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (I.N.T.A.S.C.).<\/p>\n<p>By completing this minor alongside a major in another academic field,\u00a0students will be in a position to apply for a graduate program in secondary education as well as other graduate programs in education. While the undergraduate minor does not satisfy certification requirements for the District of Columbia, the minor in education expertly prepares those to enter a graduate program through which a teacher certification\u00a0can be attained.<\/p>\n<span id=\"B.A._to_M.A.T._Program\"><h3>B.A. to M.A.T.
