103-121 credits plus supporting courses in physics

Introduction

This major must be accompanied by the professional education program in secondary education. This major meets the requirements for Washington state teaching endorsements in both chemistry and mathematics. See the Secondary Education  section of this catalog for program admission, completion, and teacher certification requirements.

As certification to teach high school now requires more than four years of study, advisement prior to or at the beginning of the third year is absolutely necessary to avoid lengthening the program.

Grade Requirements

Recommendation for teaching endorsement normally requires completion of the following major with a grade point of 2.50 or better in the required major courses.

Students must earn a grade of C (2.0) or better in the secondary education professional program and in all courses required for the endorsement.
