Science Education Major
For licensure to teach secondary science students must complete
both a Science
Education major and a Secondary Education major. This double
major program
is completed in conjunction with the School of Education at
WNMU and fulfills all
requirements for licensure to teach secondary science.
Students may also choose to major in Secondary Education with
an endorsement in
Earth and Space Science or Elementary Education with an endorsement
in General
Science.
Students may also choose the route of obtaining an MAT if they
have an undergraduate
degree in science.
Degree plans for the double majors in Secondary Education and
Science Education
and endorsement degree plans can be found in the School of
Education section of
the catalog.
