All students seeking a teaching license must meet and maintain the requirements to be admitted into professional education.   See the 5-12 or K-12 Teaching Programs section in the catalog for admission requirements for professional education and for a list of required professional education courses.

The BS Life Science Teaching (5-12) degree program requires courses in the sciences, science teaching methods, professional education, and general education. To stay within the required degree limits of 120-credit hours, students are strongly advised to select courses within the 44-credit general education program that meet both teaching program and general education needs. It is important for the student to meet with his or her advisor to assist with program planning.

The BS Life Science Teaching (5-12) degree program has a Competitive Admission policy.
