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 (English, mathematics, sciences,
social studies), however, will make the program
requirements much easier to accomplish. Please check with the program faculty about your
choice of major as early as possible in your undergraduate career.
Subject Specialization (15 credits)
At
least 15 credits of college-level work must be completed in the subject
field that will be the specialization. Any subject fitting into one of
the following four areas is appropriate: English/language arts,
mathematics, science, or social studies. Middle school specialization in
more than one field (i.e., math and social studies) is possible in New
Jersey; however, the Graduate School of Education is only able to
recommend students for one middle school specialization. Upon completion
of the program, students may apply to the state for additional
certifications if they have the appropriate coursework.
