This discipline is in the Division of Education. A separate admissions process must be completed and admission granted before students can enroll in this program. The secondary education program leads to Minnesota licensure as a teacher in specified liberal arts disciplines. Objectives--Coursework in secondary education is designed to meet standards of effective practice required for licensure and provide prospective teachers with opportunities to do the following: * understand central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of disciplines taught in the middle and secondary school; * understand adolescent development theory, individual and group motivation, and diversity among learners; * create instructional opportunities adapted to learners from diverse cultural backgrounds, and with exceptionalities, use instructional strategies that reflect personal knowledge of effective verbal and nonverbal communication techniques; * encourage development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills; * understand and use formal and informal methods of student assessment; * plan and manage instruction; * engage in reflection and self-assessment; and * collaborate with parents/guardians, families, school colleagues, and the community in an ethical manner. To obtain a teaching license, an individual must have completed a major, a bachelor's degree, and licensure requirements in the area(s) in which licensure is sought. UMM is approved to recommend teaching licensure in the following fields: chemistry (9-12), communication arts and literature (5-12), earth and space science (9-12), French (K-12), general science (5-8), instrumental music (K-12), life science (9-12), mathematics (5-12), physics (9-12), social studies (5-12), Spanish (K-12), visual arts (K-12), and vocal music (K-12). Coursework required for licensure, in most cases, is not equivalent to a major. Consult an adviser in the discipline to determine major requirements. Students planning to seek Minnesota teaching licensure at the secondary school level must complete licensure requirements in the discipline(s) of the subject(s) they intend to teach, the secondary teacher education program, and state and federally mandated examinations for new teachers. A minimum GPA of 2.75 is required in licensure area(s) and in education prerequisite courses. A minimum GPA of 2.50 is required overall. The GPA includes all course work. Grades of "F" are included in GPA calculation until they are replaced. All courses required for teaching licensure in secondary education (discipline, professional education, or other courses) must be completed with a grade of C- or better. Required courses must be taken A-F, unless they are offered S-N only.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements
Students must complete 90 credits before admission to the program.
A GPA above 2.0 is preferred for the following:

  • 2.75 transferring from outside the University
For admission to the one-year program which begins each fall, students must apply in the fall of the preceding year. Admissions decisions are made in early spring. Transfer students must be admitted to UMM before admission to the secondary program can be offered. Transfer students should seek academic planning advice from the secondary education faculty before application to the program. Requirements 1. Completion of the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Examinations: Basic Skills. 2. A minimum GPA of 2.75 is required in licensure area(s) and in education prerequisite courses and 2.50 overall. No grade below C- will be accepted in these courses. 3. Approximately 90 credits completed by the end of the junior year including demonstration of satisfactory progress in each licensure area. 4. Approval of the faculty based on an interview, recommendations, assessment of prior experience (especially with young people and other cultures), and progress toward a degree. 5. Admission to UMM.
