NOTE: Students planning to pursue a secondary teaching certificate should first understand the difference between the term “major” and the term “teaching field.” The major, a college requirement for graduation, is a course of study in some particular academic discipline chosen by the student. Requirements for academic majors are listed elsewhere in this catalog. The teaching field, a separate curricular requirement for teacher licensure by the Arkansas Department of Education, must be completed in the subject area in which the student plans to teach. Candidates will be individually advised concerning their need for additional areas of coursework tested on the Praxis II exam required for licensure. These courses may or may not be included in the required major. All secondary education students must complete a content-specific methods course.
