Teaching in the Secondary Schools
Students interested in teaching in the secondary schools major in the content area they want to teach and take classes in teacher education. There are two ways that students may obtain a Class II Teaching certificate for grades 5-12. One way is to select a broadfield major in English literature & writing, mathematics, or social sciences. The other way is to have both a major and a minor in areas that lead to teacher certification.
