  This document presents the latest results for a 3+1 sterile neutrino search
using the $10.56 \times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target data set taken from 2005 -
2012. By searching for oscillations driven by a large mass splitting, MINOS is
sensitive to the existence of sterile neutrinos through any energy dependent
deviations using a charged current sample, as well as looking at any relative
deficit between neutral current events between the far and near detectors. This
document will discuss the novel analysis that enabled a search for sterile
neutrinos setting a limit in the previously unexplored regions in the parameter
space $\{\Delta m^{2}_{41}, \sin^2\theta_{24}\}$. The results presented can be
compared to the parameter space suggested by LSND and MiniBooNE and complements
other previous experimental searches for sterile neutrinos in the electron
neutrino appearance channel.
