Teacher Education Minor in Physical Science
Teacher education minors are available only to students seeking to add additional teaching fields to their teaching majors. A total of 24 semester hours in the field is required, with approximately half of the work in chemistry and the other half in physics. Additional work in other physical sciences, such as astronomy, geology, and physical geography, is recommended. This minor is intended primarily for students preparing to teach mathematics. Students are advised that additional course work is necessary to teach middle grades six through eight. Consult the certification officer in 130 Education Building for additional information.
