Distinctive Requirements for Degree Program:
All Chemistry Education majors must maintain a 2.75 GPA and receive a C or better in all content and education courses for licensure. All Chemistry Education majors are expected to be prepared to take CHEM 120/CHEM 121 their first semester which requires MATH 118.  All course work must be completed prior to Student Teaching (AUCC 4A/B/C requirement). Admission into the teacher licensure program is required for phase II education courses and above.
