Division of Education
Division of Education
  • Program Type: Other
  • Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2023
  • Required credits to graduate with this degree: 41 to 43
  • This program is 8 terms (4 years) long.
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. Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs)-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 and technologies that reflect personal knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques; • Encourage development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills; • Understand and use formative and summative methods of student assessment; • 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), 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 advisor 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. Students must be in good academic standing, not on probation and not returning from suspension to be admitted. In addition, 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 already admitted to the degree-granting college
  • 2.75 transferring from another University of Minnesota college
  • 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. Decisions are made in the spring. Transfer students must be admitted to UMM before admission to the secondary program can be offered. Transfer students should seek academic advising from the secondary education faculty before application to the program. Requirements • Admission to UMM. • Completion of required essential academic skills exams. • A minimum GPA of 2.75 is required in licensure area(s), program requirements, and prerequisite courses and 2.50 overall. No grade below C- will be accepted in these courses. • Completion or near-completion of licensure courses in the content/licensure area(s) and demonstration of adequate progress in each licensure area. • Declared SEED program and licensure. • Approval of the Ed faculty based on an interview, recommendations from content area faculty, prior experiences with young people, and progress towards degree.

This course will examine American history from the Vietnam War to the election of Donald J. Trump. Although it will paint a broad picture of American history and engage a wide variety of issues--ranging from foreign policy and the American role in the world to technological and cultural change--the course's primary focus will be on social change and how it played out in American electoral politics.
