Completion of the chemistry courses as well as the professional education sequence lead to certification as a secondary teacher of chemistry. A minor in physics education is recommended. Advising for this major is provided by the School of Education.
Students with a major or minor in secondary chemistry education must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or greater overall, in the major, and/or minor(s) with no grade below a “B-” in the professional education sequence and no grade below a “C” in the major and/or minor(s).
