Notes:
Students must be on track to complete 30 credits of English prerequisites as a BS student prior to being accepted into the Dual BS/MA.
In order for courses to count towards both the BS and MA programs, students must have received a grade of B or better in the course.
Here is a guide for how to accomplish this:
Note: Students must also be on track to complete 150 hours of fieldwork observation prior to completing the BS. These fieldwork hours are tied to each of the Dramatic Activities classes - so students will complete 75 hours for each course. These 150 hours must be completed prior to student teaching in the final two semesters of the MA.
Students can earn up to 24 MA credits while enrolled as an undergraduate student as follows:
These credits can only be applied towards the MA if they are taken during the junior or senior years. If students complete 24 graduate credits as outlined above, students will need to complete only 21 additional credits for the MA:
9 credits for English Content Core (3 credits each for Reading, Writing, and Language)
0 credits for TCHL-GE 2999 Drug and Alcohol Education/Child Abuse Identification and School Violence Prevention/ DASA: The Social Responsibilities of Teachers
3 credits for Research - MPAET-GE 2077 Methods and Materials of Research
3 credits for Specialized Pedagogical Core - ENGED-GE 2041 Teaching/Learning English Language Arts in Middle and High School
6 credits for Student Teaching - MPAET- GE 2134 Student Teaching Theatre in the Elementary School and ENGED-GE 2911 Student Teaching English Education: High School
