This minor does not provide students with certification to teach in the state of Missouri.<\/p> <p>Each student interested in this minor should discuss with his or her major academic advisor which courses best fit that student's discipline and concentration area as well as which general studies courses need to be chosen to satisfy prerequisites.<\/p> <p>To insure that the minor is a truly
