Students without sufficient preparation will also need to take the following, increasing the total credit hours needed:
- 2
Designated courses with the appropriate content may be approved to satisfy one of the Broad Knowledge requirements plus LOPER 9 or Broad Knowledge plus LOPER 10. Courses may be approved to satisfy LOPER 9 or LOPER 10 alone. (Courses satisfying LOPER 9 or LOPER 10 alone must be 3 credit hours.) Students applying this option will need to take additional hours in other categories to meet the required General Education hours.
- 3
Students must apply for admission to all Teacher Education programs.
- 4
Students must have 24 distinct credit hours in one specialization area. While the Math specialization has 24-26 credits built into the concentration, the Science concentration only has 19-20 hours built in. Students pursuing the Science concentration are encouraged to use their General Education requirements to fulfill an additional 4-5 credits in the sciences.
