Refer to the School of Arts section of the Catalog where paradigms for teaching licensure (grades 7-12) are listed. Theses paradigms are part of a five-year plan where the student earns a Master of Arts in Teaching. We have paradigms that lead to single licensure in biology, chemistry, or physics and to dual licensure in biolgy/chemistry and phyiscs/mathematics.
