Students who wish to become licensed teachers in health education must complete a required list of courses or their equivalent before applying to the Graduate School of Education for admission into the Graduate Teacher Education Program (see requirements). These courses are required whether the applicant holds a degree in the field or holds a degree in another subject field. Courses in the School of Community Health can be taken to complete the Oregon Continuing Teaching License in Health, and selected courses can be taken to complete the Oregon Continuing Teaching License in Physical Education.

All courses taken for the teaching field requirement must be passed with a C- or better grade and must average a 3.00 GPA. Prospective teachers should contact the School of Community Health for specific requirements.
