Program Overview

The Training and Development minor prepares students for positions in both informal training roles as well as in formal employee training and development programs. Since this program aims to accommodate many different majors as well as adult learners, faculty have arranged for the training and development course requirements to be offered entirely online. The curriculum includes coursework in the following areas: training theory and application, interpersonal business relations, technology education, human resources, adult and leadership education. These competency areas align with the standards established by the Association for Talent Development (ATD). Students interested in this program should contact the Education Studies office for an advisor.
