Earning this degree enables students to be recommended to the Michigan State Board of Education for a Secondary Standard Certificate, allowing them to teach their major and minor subjects at the secondary level. Health and Physical Education (HPE) and Visual Arts Education (ART) majors qualify for a Secondary Standard Certificate, authorizing them to teach their primary subject from kindergarten through 12th grade, along with an additional minor for grades 6-12. Special Education (SPE) majors become eligible for recommendation, certifying them to instruct students with emotional or cognitive disabilities across all K-12 grades, plus additional subjects depending on their chosen second major or minor. Early academic guidance is essential for meeting Highly Qualified teacher standards.
