HIST 4500 is a required course for the Social & Behavioral Science Teaching Major/Teaching Minor. The Professional Education component of the Secondary Education program requires two semesters to complete. Therefore, it is very important that candidates have completed the General Education requirements and most of the major and minor requirements 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. Weber State University 2014-2015 Catalog
