Students completing the Middle Level minor with a major in Elementary Education have exceeded the endorsement requirement for a highly qualified teacher (grade 7 or 8). Although, Elementary Education majors with a Middle Level minor will need to complete a major equivalence in a core academic subject. Students are encouraged to meet with the middle school adviser to ensure that the requirements for teaching in the middle school have been met.
Students completing the Middle School minor with a major in a Secondary Education academic area will be considered highly qualified in that core content area.
