Additional Information and Guidelines

Note 1: Students who take ENGL 10800 instead of ENGL 10400 must complete the Writing General Education requirement with a Gen Ed approved writing intensive English course.

Note 2: Approved Electives - See an academic advisor for acceptable courses to fulfill this requirement.

Note 3: Approved List of Mathematics Major Electives – Three courses must be selected from an Approved List of 30000 / 40000 level mathematics and statistics courses. Currently the approved list of Mathematics Major Electives consists of: MA 37800 - Computational Mathematics II, MA 31500 - Introduction To Abstract Mathematics, MA 44600 - Introduction to Real Analysis, MA 45300 - Elements Of Algebra I, MA 47200 - Introduction To Applied Mathematics, or STAT 40001 - Statistical Computing, STAT 43000 - Applied Statistics. MA 31500 is prerequisite for MA 44600 and MA 45300. Mathematics majors in the Secondary Teaching Concentration must take MA 31500 and MA 45300 to prepare for the state licensure exam.

Mathematics majors in the Secondary Teaching Concentration may use 18 hours of their Education courses to fulfill the Selected Area Requirement.

Note 4: Admission to Gate 2 courses (EDCI 35501 and EDCI 36600) require application screening by the Department of Teacher Preparation advisor. Courses marked with (f) require field observations. Students may not receive more than 2 C's in professional education courses.

Note 5: Admission to Gate 3 (EDPS 37000) and beyond requires Admission to Teacher Preparation program and passing of state licensure exams.
