Middle and secondary education major graduates in communication arts and literature and  mathematics are eligible for Minnesota licensure and for assignment to upper level (grades 5-8) elementary and/or secondary schools (grades 9-12) of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod in their chosen subject area. Graduates of middle and secondary education majors in chemistry, life science, and physics are eligible to teach general science in grades 5-8 and 9-12 in their chosen subject area. Graduates of education majors in vocal or instrumental music, physical education, Spanish, and special education are eligible to teach grades K-12 in their subject areas. Students are strongly encouraged to double major by adding the elementary education major since these graduates are then eligible for assignment to K-12 WELS schools.

In addition to the general education courses, students must complete the courses required for their chosen major or majors.  A list of required courses for each major follows.  Please consult the program plan to see how the major may be completed in four years.  Following the program plan will also ensure that the appropriate general education electives are taken.
