Teacher Preparation for Undergraduate Students (Minor in Education) (Required Info if applicable)
Students interested in teaching in public schools in Arkansas must be licensed by the state in a state-approved subject area. By earning your licensure in one of the areas listed below, you open up your options for employment.

All programs require the completion of a major in the chosen field and in some cases require additional courses, blocks of courses, or other special minors. When the hours accumulated within a content area, taken together with university core hours, second language hours, and 18 hours in the Education minor do not total 120 (of which at least 45 are upper-level), students must take additional general electives.

Minors Leading to Licensure in Education 

Teacher Preparation for Future Graduate Students (M.Ed.) 

Students holding a Bachelor’s degree who want to pursue teacher licensure may take the 18 hours in a content area required for licensure as a post-baccalaureate student in CHASSE.  For more specific information, students should consult the School of Education in CHASSE regarding licensure requirements
