Application for Graduation (use EagleNET) must be made at least two terms in advance of the term expected to graduate (undergraduate and post-baccalaureate).
Use the Catalog Archives to determine two important catalog years.
- The catalog in effect at the student's first term of current matriculation is used to determine BACR (Breadth Area Core Requirements) and UGR (Undergraduate Graduation Requirements).
- The catalog in effect at the time the student declares a major or minor is used to determine the program requirements.
Students who earn a BS in Middle Level Science Education from EWU should be able to:
- apply science and engineering practices in NGSS;
- appropriately respond to potential safety hazards in different learning environments, ,e.g., laboratory, classroom, field;
- explain how cross-cutting ideas bridge disciplinary boundaries, uniting core ideas throughout the fields of science and engineering;
- explain the disciplinary core ideas of earth and space, life and physical science and guide the learning of others in key principles of each of the science domains outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards;
- incorporate instructional materials and teaching strategies to a community of diverse students.
