Undergraduate Program
The Natural Science major is recommended for those students seeking to teach science in grades 4–9. The coursework in this major provides a foundation of scientific principles required to teach the Next Generation Science Standards leading to the Middle School Science Endorsement.
There are two pathways by which the student candidate can pursue this endorsement, either in conjunction with the elementary education or secondary education degrees. This endorsement requires passing the Middle Level Science National Evaluation Series (NES) exam.
