Students completing this program are required to demonstrate proficiency of student learning outcomes through a program portfolio prior to student teaching. In addition to the above requirements, students must pass the WEST-E exam for physics to receive a physics endorsement. Students seeking an endorsement in physics must take SCED 324, SCED 325, SCED 401, and SCED 487 to meet Science Teaching Program competencies. Students should seriously consider working toward endorsement in a second area, such as biology, chemistry, Earth science, middle-level science, middle-level mathematics, mathematics or science. General Physics - Credits: 15
General Chemistry - Credits: 10
Department-approved electives - Credits: 9
- Must include a department-approved course sequence (such as PHYS 351/352, PHYS 381/382, PHYS 334/463, PHYS 492/SCED 324/487, PHYS 474/475 - see your Physics major advisor for details.
