Deaf Studies in Education – Deaf Education Concentration (Secondary Education Specialization) - Undergraduate Internship Program

Progression Requirements

Progression to the EDDE concentration with specialization in secondary education requires a 2.75 cumulative GPA after a minimum of 12 semester hours of coursework and completion of ASL 211 *. Once candidates formally progress to the specialization, they must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 while in the program. Students must earn a grade of B or better in ASL 211 *, ASL 212 *, ASL 311 *, and EDDE 310 , and a C or better in all teacher education courses. Students with less than a 2.75 GPA for two consecutive semesters will be dropped from the program. Students who fail to meet the standards for professional conduct during the course of their fieldwork will not be retained in the major.

Coursework will allow students to obtain a deaf education license (Pre K-12) at the conclusion of the program. Additionally, students take 19 credits of secondary education content and methods, which prepares them to enter a graduate certificate program subsequent to this program to obtain secondary education licensure (7-12).
