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, earth/space science, economics, French, geographical perspectives, German, government and citizenship, historical perspectives, journalism, language arts, life science, mathematics, physics, psychology, sociology, Spanish, and theatre arts.

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.  Degree completion is contingent upon students passing summative decision points.  Information about decision points can be found on the program Web site.  Completion of the degree, passage of state mandated tests, CPR-Heimlich certification and Suicide Prevention Training are needed to apply for an Indiana teaching license.  Other requirements for licensing might be added dependent on state requirements.

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, 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 with a grade of at least 2.0 (C); MATH-M 114, M118 or higher;
  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 passed the Indiana CORE Academic Skills Assessment (CASA: 220 minimum score for each - Reading, Writing, and Math) or an approved alternative: 1) ACT average score of at least 24 based on Math, Reading, Grammar, and Science; 2) SAT average score of at least 1100 based on Critical Reading and Math; 3) acceptable GRE score based on Verbal and Quantitative (at least 1100 if taken prior to 8/1/11 or at least 301 if taken on or after 8/1/11); 4) an earned Master's degree; 5) passing scores on Praxis 1 earned prior to 8/31/13 (Reading, Writing, and Math, discontinued by IN on 8/31/13) will be honored as well as 6) a composite Praxis 1 score of at least 527.  Candidates who have passed portions of Praxis 1 prior to 8/31/13, but not all three tests need only pass the part(s) of CASA not passed in Praxis 1;
  7. have acceptable recommendations from the instructors and field experience teachers in F200; and
