In order to teach in Montana, students need to complete an additional endorsement. With this General Science degree with an Emphasis in Physics, students would be qualified for the broadfield science endorsement, which is a single-field endorsement. The total number of credits is similar to the existing teacher preparation in physics but some of the physics credits have been exchanged with other sciences to ensure that the required courses include a minimum of 10 credits in physics, 10 credits in earth sciences, 10 credits in biological sciences, and 10 credits in chemistry. This will allow students completing the program to immediately compete for a range of teaching positions in Montana without obtaining another degree. No new courses are necessary for the creation of this degree. This proposal is contingent upon the approval of OPI that this satisfies the broadfield science endorsement. We are seeking OPI approval at the same time as this proposal. What other programs are affected by your Curriculum & Instruction, Division of Biological proposal?
