Secondary education majors have two advisors, one advisor for their content major and one advisor for their education major. Students are required to meet with their academic advisors in their content major department (e.g. English, History, Math, or Sciences) to select appropriate courses for their content major and core requirements. Each candidate for a teaching certificate will work with an advisor in the Education Department to develop an individualized program of study. Individualized programs of study include course sequencing, state testing requirements for certification, and processes for applying to the state for a teaching certificate. For more information on the typical sequence of coursework and course requirements related to each licensure area, please see the Saint Anselm College Education Department website.  In planning a sequence of study, Sstudents should bear in mind that most content courses have prerequisites. 

In addition to core and content requirements, double majors in secondary education major courses are required to pass:

• *PY 203 Adolescent Psychology (pre-requisite for ED 322) (4 credits)
• *ED 240 - Principles of Teaching and Learning with clinical (4 credits)

• ED 440-445 Methods of Teaching in content area specific to the major (4 credits)

*Note: In addition to meeting major requirements, courses with an asterisk also meet Saint Anselm College core requirements including Social Scientific or Writing Intensive requirements.
