major and an overall GPA of 2.5. They must also pass

a teacher competency test as established by the University

Council on Teacher Education. Remaining in the program

is subject to periodic review of satisfactory progress and, to

be admitted to EDUC 400-Student Teaching, students must

have completed all the mathematics courses required in the

secondary mathematics education program. Students should

consult the teacher education program coordinator (see list on

p.xxx) to obtain the student teaching application and other

information concerning student teaching policies.

Electives

After required courses are completed, sufficient elective

credits must be taken to meet the minimum credit

requirement for the degree, with 79 credits outside of
