Entrance into Adolescence Education Certification Program

Adolescence Education students are majors in the department of their certification area. Students are encouraged to declare their intent in an adolescence certification curriculum upon entering the university. However, this may be done later by meeting with the department chair. It is recommended that this change be made no later than Nov. 1 of the year in which the student will have earned 60 credit hours. However, declaration of an adolescence curriculum code does not guarantee admission to methods and student teaching.
