Students may become licensed to teach biology, chemistry, or physics in secondary schools (grades 7-12) by completing (1) a major in science with a General Science concentration in which 19 hours of coursework has been taken in each of two of three areas of chemistry, biology, or physics; (2) courses in addition to the True Blue Core requirements (see advisor); and (3) a minor in Secondary Education through MTeach.
A minimum of 9 semester hours of upper-division courses in any discipline of the Science major (biology, chemistry, or physics) must be taken at MTSU. The Science major requires only one minor which must include at least 3 semester hours at the upper-division level taken at MTSU.
Students may also become licensed to teach biology, chemistry, or physics by majoring in the subject they intend to teach (see requirements listed under the specific major).
NOTE: A grade of C or better is required on all transfer credits accepted as part of a major or minor in the Department of Chemistry. Students must have a grade point average of at least 2.00 on courses counting toward a major or minor in any of the department’s programs.
