The University of Illinois Springfield's School of Education provides multiple degree pathways for obtaining an Illinois Secondary (9-12) Professional Educator License (PEL). Available programs consist of:
Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education with English concentration
Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education with Mathematics concentration
Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education with History concentration
Students pursuing the BA in Secondary Education Mathematics degree can typically finish their entire curriculum (encompassing general education, teacher preparation, subject matter courses, and ECCE requirements) within four years. Those opting for a content area major with a Secondary Education minor might need to exceed the standard 120 credit hours to fulfill both sets of requirements. Individuals interested in expanding their teaching qualifications (such as additional subject areas, Learning Behavior Specialist 1, or Middle Grades certification) should consult with their School of Education advisor for specific guidance.
