Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry
Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry Cohort Admission Requirements
Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry majors are open to all students. Students are directly admitted into the education program upon admission to the university, and are expected to meet admission requirements of the university. However, all students must meet a set of requirements in order to be admitted to their cohort.
A cohort is a group of students in a common year designated to take instructional (methods) courses in a common group, as well as complete their field experience or student teaching during the same academic year, provided they satisfy the prerequisite retention requirements for the methods courses for their licensure field and for student teaching. Students are placed in a cohort and must meet certain benchmarks established by the program, which include a GPA (2.75) to continue in the cohort and major. See your academic advisor for specific cohort admission requirements.
Licensure for Non-Education Majors
If you choose a major in the College of Arts and Science and wish to seek licensure in that subject, you must also declare a major in the appropriate education licensure program and apply to the appropriate department of education major. You may not enroll in certain education professional courses until you have been selected into a particular program. The licensure requirements are the same as the education degree requirements, whether or not you choose to have a subject area major in the College of Arts and Science. You may graduate with two degrees.
