SECONDARY EDUCATION
Bachelor of Arts
The Bachelor of Arts
degree in Secondary Education is available to students preparing to teach
English, history/geography, mathematics, modern languages (French, German,
Spanish), political science/economics, and psychology/sociology on the secondary
school level (grades 9-12). The teaching field should be selected as early
as possible so that appropriate freshman and sophomore courses may be taken.
Each curriculum requires
a major concentration in the teaching field. Specific courses and sequences
have been designated to meet requirements for those planning to teach. Students
who have elective courses in the teaching area should consult their advisors
prior to scheduling these courses.
The professional
education courses should be completed in sequence. Application to Directed
Teaching (ED 412) should be made in writing no later than May 1 preceding
the school year in which student teaching is to be scheduled. ED 412 is
conducted on a full-day basis for one semester.
