Important Message *****
Students are cautioned that they must have 36 semester hours
on their Integrated Science major that are not counted on any
other major or minor for teacher certification. All courses must
be taken for a grade, not for credit/no credit even if offered as
an option. Grades in courses transferred to CMU will count in
the calculation of the major GPA. A minimum 2.7 GPA (B-)
must be earned in all teaching majors.
C+ or better is required in each professional Education course
and an overall GPA of 2.7 is required for graduation.
