MN basic skills tests (MTLE) required for full admission to the Education Department.
Students must complete through the second semester of a first year language course or equivalent. (Check the Catalog for details of this option.)
May be taken in fall of senior year.
The Education Department offers interim trips that meet the U requirement – EDU236UZ, EDu204UZ, or EDU255UZ. See Education Abroad Options.
This program assumes a student will use BIO112D, EDU317GZ, and math course to meet the general education Laboratory Science, Comparative Systems, and Math requirements.
Most financial aid packages stipulate 12 credits/semester; Minnesota state grants are reduced when credit load falls below 15 credits/semester. (Interim credits may be split between fall and spring for state grant purposes only.)
