Science Education: General Science

General Science programs shall require at least one course in two areas within the broader field (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, and geology).

RSED 6000 must be completed if a survey of special education course was not completed prior to unconditional admission. If a survey of special education course was completed prior to unconditional admission, the state diversity course requirement is fulfilled with CTRD 6000 Language and Literacy and the 3-hour course requirement for RSED 6000 will be waived resulting in 22 hours in Professional Studies and 34 total program hours.

Clearance for Clinical Residency includes completion of all other coursework. Exceptions require approval using the Student Petition Form.

In addition to the Graduate School requirement of a cumulative 3.0 GPA on all AU courses carrying graduate credit, a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 is required on all courses used to meet program requirements.
