Program Options B and C

These program options are organized around content majors and education courses and are designed to prepare teachers for grades 4-12 teaching or for grades K-12 teaching in selected areas. Each program requires the student to complete:

1. a comprehensive major (at least 60 credits) or a standard major (at least 36 credits) plus one of the following: another standard major (at least 36 credits), or a minor (at least 24 credits), or a certificate (12-18 credits).  Students choosing another major or minor may choose from the approved majors and minors listed in the table below, but are not required to do so. Students pursuing a K-12 licensure are not required to elect a second plan that leads to certification. 
2. a professional sequence consisting of teaching methods and related courses.

Students are assigned an education academic advisor and a faculty advisor through the content major department.
