Program Planning
Planning your four-years in Teacher Education can be tricky. Please keep this tab on your portfolio as helpful tool in the planning process and a way you can share your projected coursework with your academic advisors throughout your four years. For students pursuing Elementary Education (PreK - Grade 5) and Adolescent and Young Adult Education (Grades 7-12), you will complete a "Declaration of Double Major" form in EDUC10000 - Introduction to Education. Once submitted, these coursework requirements will be added to your Degree Audit in ScotWeb.
