Welcome to the Secondary Education Program
Our programs are designed to prepare candidates for initial teacher licensing in both Indiana and in Kentucky. The Secondary Education Program offers initial teacher licensing at the middle school, junior high school, and high school settings in:
- Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Science
- Chemistry
- Earth/Space Science
- Life Science (Biology)
- Physical Science (Chemistry & Physics) CANDIDATES for KENTUCKY LICENSURE: Please be aware that KY does not currently grant a license to teach chemistry or physics based on the IUS Physical Science major. "Physical Science" is an Indiana licensing area, but not for Kentucky.
- Social Studies
- Historical Perspectives (US & World)
- Government & Citizenship
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Economics
- Geographical Perspectives (Human)
In addition to the above, you may also earn a teaching minor (NOT the same as an academic minor) in:
- Spanish
- French
- German
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Journalism
- Theatre Arts
- Computer Education
NOTE: Kentucky does not grant a license based on teaching minors.
All of this is based on the standards set forth by the Indiana Office of Educator Licensing and Development, the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC), and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Candidates may add other teaching areas to one of the four primary areas.
The Secondary Program also offers Transition to Teaching, a certification-only program where degree holders may earn secondary teacher licensing in an earned major.
