Students interested in teaching English at the secondary level are urged to pursue the major in English instead of the minor.
Students with a major or minor in secondary education must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 in the major and minor combined with no grades below a “C”. All courses in the professional education sequence must be at least a “B-“.
