The Professional Education component of the Composite Elementary Education and Special Education majors requires four semesters to complete. Therefore, it is very important that candidates have completed the General Education requirements and have taken at least some of the required Support Courses prior to entering the program. Because of possible scheduling difficulties, failure to do so could mean spending an extra semester (or more) in completing the program. ELEMENTARY EDUCATION DEPARTMENTAL HONORS » Program Prerequisite: Enroll in the General Honors Program and complete at least 9 credit hours of general Honors courses (see the Interdisciplinary Programs section of this catalog). » Grade Requirements: Maintain an overall GPA of 3.3. » Credit Hour Requirements: Fill the requirements of the Elementary Education major, of which at least 12 credit hours in the professional education sequence, education support courses, or graduate courses must be taken for Honors credit. All 3000 level and above courses may be considered by the student for his/her course of study. 215 The student desiring Honors credit should plan a Course of Study and have a signed agreement prior to seeking permission from the Department Chat. Content in the Education courses will be different and more challenging for Honors students than the content for regular students. (See also Honors Program.) Secondary Education LICENSURE Note: Changes to this program are pending. See the Teacher Education Advisement Center for current requirements. » Program Prerequisite: Provisional admission to a Teacher Education Program (see the admission requirements described under the Teacher Education Department).
