Notes: (1) This degree emphasis is only offered at STLCC-Florissant Valley. Students must work with STLCC-FV and major advisor at Lindenwood University. Students must enroll in classes through both advisors.
(2) Course duplication is not allowed.
Also required are College Algebra and General Psychology (at either LU or Florissant Valley)
Methods of Teaching
| EDU 33900 | Secondary Methods of Teaching Technology and Engineering | 3 |
Students seeking only middle school certification should be aware that such certification allows them limited career options in middle school education (grades 5-9). Therefore, middle school education students are encouraged to consider certification in a second area. Coursework must be carefully planned and sequenced by the student with an advisor.
