What courses absolutely must be taken during the first year
(or the first semester)? |
| |
We advise that students interested in education consider
taking "Complexities of Urban Schooling" in their first or second
year. This course is required for all undergraduate programs leading to a
teaching license. In view of the fact that program requirements vary according
to a student's teaching interest, it is best to check with Education staff to
find out whether it is advisable to wait until the second year to take this
course.

|
Does your department recommend that FY students explore the
PLS during their first year? Or should FY students focus more on
fulfilling prerequisites for the major? |
| |
We generally advise students to concentrate on PLS courses
in the first year or two.
|
|
If FY students have specific questions about your
department, whom should they contact? |
| |
Students generally contact Marlene Shepard first for an
orientation about the programs and the requirements for teacher licensure.
Marlene steers students to an additional faculty advisor as needed.
|
|
What courses in related departments do your majors usually
take? |
| |
Students intending to qualify for a teaching license need
to complete a liberal arts major in addition to the education program
requirements that correspond to their teaching interest (elementary, middle or
secondary school). So they should begin to work on their department major
requirements and PLS requirements early in their undergraduate work.
