Academic
Catalog August 2007 - August 2008 Undergraduate
and Graduate
To teach in grades 7 through 12, you must have a teaching major and a teaching minor or an extended teaching major in another department. Refer to the academic area in which you plan to major (for example, chemistry or English) for information about specific requirements for your major and/or minor, such as special methods courses or other requirements. In addition, you must be admitting to the College of Education’s teacher-education plan.
In addition, you must take the following 31 units in one of two plan options—a traditional two-term plan that offers flexible scheduling or the one-term integrated secondary teacher education plan (I-STEP):
EDF 200 (3 units)
BME 437 (3 units)
ECI 308, 322, 450, and 465 (10 units)
EPS 325 (3 units)
in your senior year, ECI 495C, which meets NAU’s senior capstone requirement (12 units)
You may also take POS 220 (or POS 110 and 241) to satisfy Arizona certification requirements for the federal and Arizona constitution. You may meet this requirement by demonstrating proficiency on a special exam.
You must have an academic advisor in both your major and minor departments. In addition, the College of Education’s advisement office offers advisement for your teacher-preparation plan after you apply to the plan.
