SECONDARY TEACHING LICENSE

Students interested in teaching in the secondary schools of Utah (grades 6-12) can complete course work leading to a Secondary Teaching License in the State of Utah. A Utah teaching license (elementary or secondary) is recognized by almost all other states and territories in the United States.

Secondary students are required to complete a Composite or an academic Teaching Major in one of the University's academic colleges. In addition, a minimum of 30 semester hours of professional education course work must be completed in teacher education.

Secondary Block courses and Clinical Practice will be offered in separate semesters. Students are expected to complete secondary education courses according to an approved sequence and will not be admitted to the Secondary Education Professional Block unless 80% of their academic major is completed.
