Throughout your undergraduate career, you will align some of your Chemistry major classes with your Secondary Education program requirements to make sure you have a thorough understanding of your content for when you teach it. Finally, you will complete a 5th year Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) graduate program, which is required for licensure in Secondary Education.
