Educator Licensure - Chemistry

Students interested in emphasis 3 should consult with the departmental certification advisor as soon as possible and also refer to the "Educator Licensure Requirements" section of this catalog.

Undergraduate chemistry majors must apply for admission to educator licensure in emphasis 3 at the end of the sophomore year.

Please note: Graduate students and students who already possess the baccalaureate or higher degree and wish to pursue licensure and/or endorsement with or without becoming a candidate for a degree, should apply for admission to the director of chemistry licensure as early as possible.

It is strongly recommended that students completing this emphasis obtain a secondary endorsement in at least one subject other than chemistry.
