Dual-Degree Secondary Education Programs

These programs are for students who prefer certification at a master’s degree level, or who opt for secondary education after the fall semester of their junior year. They combine a bachelor’s degree with a Master of Arts in Teaching, leading to recommendation for a Georgia induction teaching certificate in the following fields: English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Broad-field Science, and History.

Dual-Degree candidates should follow their respective department’s program of studies for secondary education as described in the department sections under the school of Arts & Sciences section of this catalog. The only required education course in the Dual-Degree Program is EDSE 3366 Foundations and Practicum in Secondary Education (4 semester hours). This course should be taken in either junior or senior year. Candidates must hold a pre-service certificate before taking EDSE 3366.

Candidates in all programs are strongly encouraged to take Spanish for Teachers and to practice conversing with native speakers whenever possible.
