Note:

Secondary Education Teacher Certification: To be eligible for certification in physics, students must successfully complete all requirements for the major, the requirements for graduation, and the minor in secondary education.

The prerequisites for admission to the Senior Block are a cumulative GPA of 3.000 in all college work and 3.000 in the major.

Students who are interested in secondary education should contact the chair of the School of Education as soon as possible for complete information. If all requirements are to be completed in four years, careful planning in both the major field and the minor is essential.
