The University of Mount Union’s accredited adolescence to young adult (AYA) education program allows students to not only major in AYA education, but also an area of study in which you are interested. Focusing on an area or areas of study allows students to be more proficient educators.
The AYA education minor is administered by the Department of Education’s CAEP accredited Teacher Education Program, which offers majors and minors in a number of other areas as well.
