Students in secondary education have three ways of enhancing their degrees:

Additional Certification Endorsements--Secondary education majors in biology and chemistry must also have additional certification endorsement in general science. Other secondary education majors have the option of taking additional certification endorsement in one of the several areas listed below after the major curricula.

Second Degrees--Students may earn a second degree in their chosen discipline by taking a minimum of 30 additional hours and by meeting other requirements of the appropriate department and college. (See also "Requirements for a Second Bachelor's Degree" under "University Regulations.")

Multiple Majors--Students may earn a degree with two majors, in the same college or in different colleges, by getting the permission of deans and by completing all requirements for both majors. (See also "Requirements for Multiple Majors" under "University Regulations.") The College of Education and the College of Sciences have established a curriculum, listed below, for a double major both in secondary education-mathematics and in mathematics. Students seeking multiple majors in other fields should work out a degree plan with their adviser.
