Physics: Licensing for Secondary School Teaching (9-12)

Physics majors pursuing a teaching license at the 9-12 level may complete either the BA or BS physics program requirements. In addition, students must complete the teacher education courses required for a Minnesota teaching license.

To extend this license to include teaching science in grades 5-8 requires the following six additional courses:

• BIOL 1800: Principles of Ecology and Evolution
• BIOL 1820: Principles of Plant and Animal Physiology
• CHEM 1130 and 1140: General Chemistry I & II
• PHYS 101: Astronomy (to be taken at Augsburg through ACTC)
