For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education

The following requirements in general education are common to all secondary education specialties. For requirements in addition to those below, refer to Council on Teacher Education for teacher education requirements applicable to all curricula.

It is essential that students consult appropriate teacher education advisers in the selection of specific courses and in the overall planning of degree programs. Students are advised that additional course work may be necessary to teach middle grades 6 through 8 after June 30, 1996. Consult the certification officer in 110 Education Building for additional information.

A minimum of 120 hours of credit, excluding basic military science, is required for graduation.

General Education Requirements

All courses must appear on the Council on Teacher Education list of approved courses for general education. Courses within the teaching major or minor may be used to satisfy general education requirements provided that they appear on the council list of approved courses.

Two arrangements are provided for completing the major and minor requirements:

Option A requires a social studies major of at least 41 hours and a minor of at least 20 to 24 hours in an approved teaching field outside the social studies (English, a foreign language, mathematics, etc). The major under Option A consists of two parts: (1) 20 hours in history and (2) 21 hours distributed to provide one course in each of four of the following fields and some concentration in two of the fields: anthropology, economics, cultural geography, political science, and sociology. These courses must be chosen in consultation with an adviser.

Option B requires a social studies major of at least 36 hours and a minor of at least 20 hours that also is within the social studies field. The major under Option B consists of two parts: (1) 16 to 21 hours in history and (2) 15 to 20 hours distributed to provide courses in three of five fields: anthropology, economics, cultural geography, political science, and sociology. The 20-hour minor is taken entirely in one area (anthropology, economics, geography, political science, or sociology) that has not been included in the major.

The choice of options will be made in consultation with an adviser. Under each option, at least one survey course in American history and one course in American government are required.
