·  If student plans on teacher certification, the major should

o        be an approved composite major for elementary education (Fine Arts Composite,  or Language Arts Composite, or Science Composite, or Social Studies Composite)

OR

o        Special Education (EI or LD)

 OR

o         have "Education" as part of its description-for example, "English-Elementary Educ" or "English-Secondary Educ," rather than simply "English." 

·  For some majors (especially in the natural sciences and music), more than one degree is possible.  Check to see that the correct degree is listed

·  If the major, minor, or degree is not listed correctly, please send the student to the Registrar's Office-if this info is not correct, the degree evaluation will not be accurate.
