Geology - Earth Science for Secondary Teachers Option


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors, Options, and Minors

The Geology - Earth Science for Secondary Teachers option gives high-quality academic preparation to students who wish to become Colorado licensed grades 7-12 science teachers. This option is extremely demanding and requires careful planning and advising. Students choosing this option should consult a Geosciences Department advisor as early as possible in their careers, and should read the Teacher Education section of this catalog for the steps and requirements for applying to the Teacher Education Licensure Program .

See General Education Requirements .

Subtotal Specific Departmental Requirements - Credits: 39


Subtotal Auxiliary Department Requirements - Credits: 20


Subtotal Education Requirements - Credits: 39


TOTAL REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION - CREDITS: 120-126**


NOTE: Admission to Teacher Education required for all 300- and 400-level education courses.

** Students may complete this degree within the 126-credit maximum, but to do so they must use courses from the major to complete certain General Education requirements (e.g., Geog 235, ED 222, Bio 112, and Math 110). Using these courses to meet both major and Gen Ed requirements enables the student to complete within the 126-credit limit.
