Teaching Chemistry Concentration
To sign up for this option, you need to contact the Curriculum and Instruction Department. Do not fill out a major/minor form for graduation or the major/minor/concentration section of the major change form. Approvals for this option must come from the Curriculum and Instruction Department.
Concentrations will not appear on your UM transcript, diploma, university lists, student data system, or university publication and are used for advising purposes only. You do not fill out a major change for a concentration.
Individuals interested in teaching in K-12 schools must complete a degree in the content area they want to teach plus the teacher preparation program through the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Individuals must complete the teaching major/teaching concentration within that degree program, which may contain different course requirements than the academic major since the sequence of courses is designed to meet state standards. Upon completion of the degree program with the teaching concentration and the secondary licensure program, one will be eligible for a standard Montana teaching license in this content area.
Teaching Preparation Requirements
Rule: Complete both of the following
Note: The EDU 497 course number is used for multiple courses. Students should register for EDU 497
