It's especially interesting to me that a 2.5 GPA is required of education
majors! wonderful! somebody finally got it right! Are they also required
to take a major in their field, and fill in the ed credits as a minor or
electives?

Before you get too excited about this, you'd have to know the _average
grade_ in education courses at the institution. Around here they run about
an A-, so a higher required GPA loses some of it's apparent strength. As
with (apparently) most institutions, the sciences here run near or at the
bottom of the average grades in departments.
