Those interested in pursuing initial teacher licensure to teach in a middle school or a high school have to complete a concentration in the subject area. For example, future English teachers would complete an English 5-12 Concentration in the English Studies Department.

The concentration for initial teacher licensure includes three components: a major in the content area (i.e. English Studies major), a minor in Middle and Secondary Education, and licensure coursework (i.e. state-required coursework and field experiences).

The links below lead to department program pages that each outline the department-specific concentration requirements.
