*Policy regarding OPE courses
When taking a course with an OPE, students completing a minor in education will be required to meet all the course requirements, but will not be required to complete the OPE hours. Students may request to take the OPE or an alternate field experience arranged by the student with the permission of and in consultation with the course instructor, the Undergraduate Program Director, and the Coordinator of Field Experience. (Note: Alternate experiences will not meet certification requirements should a student later choose to major in education.)
