Pathway to 6-12 Licensure for Content Majors

Content majors including
-English
-History
-Science
-Math &
-World Languages
can pursue a pathway to 6-12 licensure in a couple of different ways. One way is to pursue an education minor (see below) as part of your undergraduate study. These courses, combined with a methods course and student teaching, will fulfill secondary licensure requirements and can be completed with your content major in 4 years. Another way is to graduate with your content major in 3 years and then complete the secondary transition to teaching coursework in one year for a total of 4 years. Both pathways can be completed in 4 years and lead to full secondary licensure.
