Minors & Concentrations in Education

Education Concentrations

The Education concentration is for students majoring in the following areas and seeking to also earn secondary-level teacher certification:

• Biology
• Health Science Studies
• History
• Mathematics
• Physics/Mathematics

Students in these programs earn a BS or BA degree in their primary major, while also taking coursework to obtain secondary teacher certification. These students will complete three semesters of field-based coursework. It is ideal for students to add an Education concentration to their program by the start of their junior year.
