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.
