Adamson, Chairman The student preparing to teach in either junior or senior high schools will spend considerable time in both professional courses and academic specialization. The student's adviser will be a faculty member in the department of the student's academic (teaching) major. Also, he should receive help as needed from a staff member in his academic (teaching) minor. He will also be assigned an adviser from the professional education staff to help in meeting the requirements of the School of Education and the requirements for the Utah teaching certificate. It is required that the student complete the 33 credit hours required for certification in the following sequence: Education 300, 350, 355, 495, 499. The academic teaching major and teaching minor (referred to previously under Subject Specialization) must consist of not less than 42 and 20 quarter hours respectively. The teaching major and minor should be in subjects taught in Utah public secondary schools. Either the major or minor must be a subject which Utah secondary schools are required to teach (those marked with an asterisk do not satisfy this second requirement—see below).
