Bachelor of Science in Education: Certification in Technology Education — 120 Credits

The following eight-semester schedule of courses provides a recommended framework for completing this program of study in four years. Three credits of literature are required for all teacher education programs. Students must earn a grade of C or better in every TED course, one English composition course, two math courses, and one American/English literature course. Grades of C- or lower in these courses must be repeated until a grade of C or better is earned. For the natural science requirement, take one 4 credit lab course (BIO 115, BIO 206, CHE 101, PHY 121) and one course from either the lab or science (BIO 301, EAS 163, ENS 101, PHS 120, PHS 137) selection.
