Career outlook
A minor can help students enhance the marketable skills they acquire in their major program as well as help develop new skills apart from it, though most career areas do require more training than a minor alone can provide.
Graduates with a minor in early childhood education acquire knowledge and skills related to child development and educational support, which is a benefit as they pursue careers that require working with young children and their families in a variety of educational settings.
