SECONDARY EDUCATION
This recommended transfer program
for secondary education students meets the requirements for an associate
in arts degree and the recommendations of the Illinois Articulation Initiative
secondary education major panel. Students should check individual school
requirements before completing the curriculum as outlined. Admission into
baccalaureate secondary education programs is competitive; completion
of these courses alone does not guarantee admission.

- Students should
check with the curriculum of the transfer school they are considering.
- See associate in
arts requirements listed in Harper’s catalog.
- Select one physical
and one life science course. At least one must include a lab.
- Select at least
one course from humanities and one from fine arts. Interdisciplinary
courses may count in either category. One literature course is recommended.
- Select at least
one 3 credit-hour course focusing on multicultural and global perspectives
in either the humanities and fine arts (HUM 103; LIT 208, PHI 160; PHI
205) or the social and behavioral sciences group (GEG 103, HST 121,
HST 243; PSC 280).
- HST 111 or HST
112 and PSC 101, and PSY 101 are recommended.
- Some schools may
require a foreign language.
- As part of the
Illinois Articulation Initiative (Phase II), participating schools will
accept EDU 201, EDU 202 and EDU 211/PSY 228 in transfer; however, they
may or may not substitute for upper division professional course work
required for certification.
- Since Secondary
Education is not a major at the baccalaureate level, students need to
select a major and a teaching minor from among those disciplines taught
in high schools. Courses in the major and minor should be selected in
consultation with an advisor.
