Thinking of Declaring a Major?
Need help deciding
whether one of the Science Education majors is what you want to declare?
You're invited to meet with the Director of Science Education at any time to ask
questions and explore options. Any of the Science Education advisors can give
you insight into the teaching profession and into teaching their
discipline.
If you are thinking of declaring any science major, we
encourage you to do so as soon as possible in order to establish a plan of
study. The study of science is hierarchical, that is one course must
precede another in proper sequence if you are to be successful. Failure to plan
almost inevitably leads to delay.
For more information about the majors, see Plans of Study.
