If you dream of exploring the globe, mentoring youth, or shaping future innovators, this program provides practical experience and a distinct advantage for starting your teaching career in secondary education. Designed as a 1.75-year full-time initial certification for graduates with non-Education bachelor's degrees in teaching-relevant fields, it allows career shifts from disciplines like English or communications into education—just as Chelsea did to pursue her calling (listen to her transition story here). You'll gain specialized expertise to instruct students in grades 7-12 in your chosen subject area. When selecting Science or Humanities and Social Sciences (HaSS) as your major, you'll teach the full curriculum for grades 7-10 before focusing on your specialization for senior years. Additionally, you'll select a secondary teaching area (minor) from available options, excluding Health and Physical Education, which is only offered as a major-minor pairing. A minor qualification enables you to teach grades 7-10 in that subject, with Science and HaSS minors requiring comprehensive curriculum coverage. Graduating with dual teaching qualifications significantly enhances your employment prospects.
