Teacher Certification
The courses required for the chemistry major as listed above constitute the chemistry course sequence approved by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for certification of secondary teachers of chemistry. A course sequence for Elementary (grades 1-9) Science Teaching minor certification is also available. Students preparing to teach at the elementary or secondary level must meet all curricular standards set by the DPI. In addition to the sciences and mathematics, all required courses in the Education sequence in preparation for teaching at the elementary or secondary levels must be completed.
