Approved Symbolic
The foreign language requirement may be waived for a student
System(s)
who completes the B.A. degree in preparation for secondary
teaching and who meets the requirements for teaching licensure,
including the student teaching requirement. These students still
must meet the foreign language/symbolic systems competency
requirement (likely via M 171 and 172) for General Education as
described in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this
catalog.

III: Justification Please explain why the program of study requires over 48 credits for a
first baccalaureate degree:
This degree has been approved as an extended major on account of professional expectations as
evident in the fields of chemistry and education.
IV. Degree Requirements: (1) List all courses required for the major and the credits
earned. Courses that apply toward the 48-credit threshold include all requirements for the
primary major and designated pre-requisite courses (2) Subtract general education credits
fulfilled by these requirements. Example: If a major requires PHSX 205N-208N (totaling 10
credits), only 4 credits apply towards the 48 credit threshold since 6 credits are needed to fulfill
general education group XI (Natural Sciences).

Teaching Licensure Requirements
Note: Students must be formally admitted to the Teacher Education Program and complete all
of the professional education licensure requirements. See the Department of Curriculum &
Instruction in the College of Education and Human Sciences for more information. A major
GPA of 2.75 is required to be eligible for student teaching.
Modern Foreign Language
Rule: Complete 10 credits of modern foreign language
Note: The foreign language requirement may be waived for a student who completes the B.A.
degree in preparation for secondary teaching and who meets the requirements for teaching
licensure, including the student teaching requirement. These students still must meet the
foreign language/symbolic systems competency requirement (likely via M 171 and 172) for
General Education as described in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this
catalog.
Total Credits (Excluding General Education Credits): 6
Please note: Programs granted a symbolic-systems exception to the general education modern and
classical languages requirement will have to reapply every four years to keep the exception. The
application will require an up-to-date accounting showing that the 48-credit threshold is exceeded.
