Bachelor of Science in Education with Middle School/High School Teaching License

Each discipline in the secondary program (English, World Languages, Mathematics, and Social Studies) requires a unique and highly prescribed program of studies. Courses in these programs of study fall into three categories: the common core curriculum, the licensure concentration program, and the teacher education program. In all areas of these programs, the courses are carefully selected to prepare students to meet the rigorous content and teaching standards required for a middle school and high school teaching license in the discipline.

Note the following symbols next to the course title: + - This course must be completed with a C or better before beginning the Teacher Education Program # - Strongly recommended due to current Academic Standards for secondary students. * - Requires a prerequisite course.

Higher-level courses may be substituted with permission of an advisor in any general education area.

Note: EDUC F110 Windows on Education is designed for beginning freshman, students entering IUPUI or changing majors after their freshman year may substitute an elective.

General Education courses cannot be counted more than once. Example: Anthropology A104 can be counted toward Social Sciences credit requirements OR Comparative World Cultures, but not for both.
