Major Requirements
Almost any major offered by the Faculty of Arts and
Sciences is acceptable for this program. A major in one of the subject
areas taught in the middle school grades, however, will make the program
requirements much easier to accomplish (English, mathematics, sciences,
social studies). Please check with the program faculty about your
choice of major as early as possible in your undergraduate career.
