Secondary Education Dual Major
Candidates seeking a license to teach an academic subject in high schools (grades 7-12 teaching licenses) or middle schools (grades 4-8) must dual major in the subject area they wish to teach and Secondary Education. Candidates completing a dual major with Secondary Education have few or no elective courses available depending on the program.
Candidates for teacher licensure should work with an advisor in the academic program and in the School of Education and Public Service early and often to ensure enrollment in the required courses. Candidates must complete the following education courses in additional to the full requirements of their other academic program (major):
