* HIST 162 satisfies both the U.S. Constitution requirement for the preliminary teaching credential and 3 semester hours of the history core requirement. POLS 135 satisfies both the U.S. Constitution requirement for the preliminary teaching credential and 3 semester hours of the social science core requirement.

** This class is required for the student who wishes to get a secondary teaching credential.

*** For the student who is working on the teaching credential, these semester hours can be used for secondary directed teaching (EDCE 412).

^†Note: With the approval of the Chairperson of Mathematics and the Associate Dean of Science and Engineering:

EDLC 400 can be substituted for AMCS 100.
EDES 401 can be substituted for an upper division Psychology class to be paired with PSYC 100 to satisfy the 6 semester hours of Social Science requirement.

This four-year plan serves only as a general model. Students should meet with their advisors at least once a semester to discuss progress in the program and plans for future semesters.
