Students pursuing a secondary (5-12) endorsement in Biology, Chemistry, English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Business-General, Business-Marketing/ Management or 5-12 Science - General Science, must fulfill program requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in their specific endorsement area in addition to satisfying endorsement(s) and Education course requirements. Students who desire a secondary endorsement(s) in American History, World History, Psychology, or Sociology must meet the program requirements for a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Science in addition to satisfying endorsement and Education course requirements. In some instances, endorsement and Education courses may also be applied to Social Science major requirements (e.g., PSY 315 can be used as a major course requirement as well as an Education requirement).
