Integrated Science Major (B.S.E.)

The Adolescent/Adult Education (ADED) Integrated Science program is a five-year degree that prepares candidates for licensure in all areas of science, grades 7-12. Students take a broad range of science-content courses from the geology, geography, biology, chemistry, and physics departments and choose one area of  in which to specialize. Students complete most of their content coursework during their first four years and then begin their methods coursework during the spring of their fourth year. During the final year of the program, candidates complete remaining content courses, science teaching methods courses, and a year-long placement in a local school district, which concludes with 12 weeks of student teaching in the spring.

Integrated Science students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor early in their programs because many courses must be sequenced carefully.
