Teacher education offerings are available as options under the
Agriculture and Environmental Science 015 and Plant Science 776
curricula. The college also provides a professional education program
for students concentrating in biology, chemistry, physics, and
geology/earth science.
The professional education course
requirements are treated as electives in the student`s major program. A
minimum of 30 credits in subject-matter requirements must be met in the
student`s major. Students should consult the appropriate program of
study for information about subject-matter requirements. Upon
satisfactory completion of one of these state-approved programs,
students are recommended for the agriculture, biology, physical
sciences, and earth science Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced
Standing. Because of the difficulty of scheduling education courses,
interested students should seek advice from the curriculum coordinator
as early as possible, preferably during the sophomore year.
Teacher certification also may be pursued as a minor program of study.
See the Science and Agricultural Teacher Education program described
near the end of this chapter..
