Concentration coordinator: Zoubeida Dagher

Teacher candidates who pursue this concentration can become eligible for middle school science certification when they successfully complete the following courses with a grade of C- or better and pass the relevant Praxis Subject Assessment. Students must also have a minimum 2.75 GPA in their science courses, including BISC 104, GEOL 113, and SCEN 101, prior to enrolling in the student teaching experience EDUC 400.

Please note that the middle school science concentration does not lead to teacher certification in New York State because the science certifications in this state are in specific content areas (e.g., biology) instead of in general middle school science. This concentration does lead to teacher certification in other states. Please contact the Certification Officer for more information.
