Program Description

The School of Education offers programs in secondary education leading to the B.S. in Education in secondary education (middle school, junior high, high school) with teaching majors in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Candidates who have completed one of these teaching majors may also be licensed in chemistry, computer education, earth/space science, economics, French, geographical perspectives, German, government and citizenship, historical perspectives, journalism, language arts, life science, mathematics, physical science, physics, psychology, sociology, Spanish, and theatre arts. Students intending to pursue a major in secondary education may transfer their records to the School of Education once they have completed 12 credit hours (excluding developmental courses) with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 and a minimum grade of C (2.0) in ENG-W 131.

Degree/Certificate Requirements for all Secondary Programs leading to B.S. in Education

Admission to the Secondary Education Program comes at Summative Decision Point I. The procedure provides the faculty with opportunities to exercise professional judgment on the suitability of the candidate for a teaching career. Admission to the Secondary Education Program is based on a number of factors designed to select high-quality, prospective teachers and is also limited to the number of students who can be effectively accommodated given the available resources. Admission to and good standing in the Secondary Education Program are required for enrolling in certain professional education courses.

The following are the admission, continuation, and completion requirements for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies in Secondary Education.

To be admitted to the Secondary Education Program (SEP), candidates must meet all of the requirements for Summative Decision Point I as listed below:

  1. have taken F200 and earned a grade of at least 2.0 (C) and have a grade-point-average in professional education courses of at least 2.75;
  2. have taken the communications courses (i.e., W131, S121, G207, and W270, W290 or W350 with no grade less than 2.0 (C) and a grade point-average of at least 2.75;
  3. have taken a mathematics course M118 or higher with a grade of at least 2.0 (C);
  4. have an overall grade-point-average of at least 2.75;
  5. have at least a grade of 2.0 (C) in each course in the licensing area(s) and an overall average in each licensing area of at least 2.75;
  6. have passing scores on Praxis I (PPST) based on the Indiana standards; and
  7. have acceptable recommendations from the instructors and field experience teachers in F200.
  8. have submitted a completed application to the SEP with a copy of the Praxis I scores.

  3. have taken or be concurrently enrolled in EDUC W200;
  4. have an overall grade-point-average of at least 2.75; and,
  5. be eligible for student teaching in the spring of the next academic year (i.e., have completed at least 60 credit hours that count toward the 130 credit hour requirement to take the block in the fall semester and at least 72 credit hours to take the block in the spring semester).

To be eligible to enroll in the M301/M314/M464 block, candidates must meet the Summative Decision Point II requirements. These requirements include:

  1. be admitted to the SEP at IUS;
  2. have a grade of at least 2.0 (C) and a grade-point-average of at least 2.75 in the professional education coursework and in the coursework in all of their licensing areas;

To be eligible to enroll in specific methods and student teaching, candidates must meet the following Summative Decision Point III requirements in addition to maintaining the grades and grade-point-averages listed above:

  1. have passed the Praxis II Content Knowledge Test (based on the Indiana standards);
  2. have completed all of their general education requirements with appropriate grades;
  3. have completed at least 75% of the coursework in the major;
  4. be able to complete all requirements for their degree by the summer following student teaching;
  5. have acceptable recommendations from their M301/M314/M464 instructors and field experience teachers; and
