The Department of Geography and Earth Sciences partners with the College of Education and the Department of Middle, Secondary, and K-12 Education to provide a combined curriculum of geography and teaching courses, equipping students for North Carolina's (9-12) educator certification. Those aspiring to teach social studies in public schools should indicate this goal early in their sophomore year to receive proper guidance and qualify for the Secondary Education Minor. Prospective teachers must consult both the department's education advisor and the College of Education's TEAL office to learn about teacher program admissions, required coursework, and the final student teaching practicum.
