In addition to general education components, professional education course components are required.

Prospective secondary teachers should secure a “teaching major” in the subject field of concentration. These “teaching majors” are not necessarily the same as usual major field concentrations. Therefore, it is imperative for the student to follow the particular patterns outlined on Program Outline Sheets available from the Registrar’s Office or the Chair of the Division of Education. Included is a listing of the secondary education degrees offered at Friends University and their teaching major field requirements. Please see the Education Department for complete program outlines.

All Education students must meet the following Division of Education academic standard:

  • Achieve and maintain an overall cumulative GPA of 2.75. Cumulative GPA includes all post-secondary coursework, as well as dual-credit high school courses.
  • Achieve and maintain a Professional Education GPA of 2.75 with no grade lower than a C in a professional education course.
  • Achieve and maintain a 2.75 GPA in content area courses for secondary and K-12 majors. A 2.75 GPA in major filed courses and supporting requirements is needed for elementary majors.
