Undergraduate students seeking teaching licensure on the secondary level (grades 6-12) in biology, English, history/social science, or mathematics follow a prescribed program of studies that both fulfills the requirements of their major discipline and leads to secondary teaching licensure.
At the graduate level, students may pursue degrees in English and humanities as well as forensic and legal psychology. A graduate certificate is available in ethics and leadership in criminal justice.
In addition, the College of Sciences and Humanities offers many of the courses that fulfill the Liberal Arts Core Requirements.
