To complete the degree program, the teacher candidate must accumulate credits to earn an endorsement to teach in one or more areas. A Chemistry Secondary Education major may seek a single field endorsement in Chemistry (at least 45 credits) or combine an endorsement in Chemistry (about 30 credits) with a teaching endorsement in a second area. The following teaching endorsement minors are recommended for students seeking a dual endorsement: Biological Sciences, Earth Science, Mathematics, or Physics.

 

Single Field Endorsement in Chemistry (8 additional credits required for a total of 45 credits in chemistry)

 

Upper-division CHEM electives to total 45 chemistry credits chosen from:

CHEM 324 Physical Chemistry Laboratory

CHEM 386 Directed Reading in Chemistry

CHEM 396 Research in Chemistry
