College-level Requirements
Please see the appropriate college listing for college-level academic requirements. Professional Requirements for Adolescent-Young Adult
In addition to a methods course in your major field, the following courses must be completed with a 2.75 GPA and no grade below a C (200-level course can be taken after admission to professional education, and 300- and 400-level courses can be taken after admission to advanced standing): Student Teaching
These three courses are taken concurrently in one quarter and constitute the student teaching requirement. Apply for student teaching by December 1st of the year prior to the year in which you plan to student teach. Required General Education Courses (45 hours)
In addition to the following program requirements, you also must complete Ohio University’s General Education Requirements. Consult with your advisor to plan a course of study that will meet both sets of requirements.
You must meet departmental prerequisites for all classes if you are seeking licensure. For example, you must take and pass PSY 101 with a minimum grade of C before taking any 200-level education course.
If the courses in each field do not add up to a total of 45 hours, you must select sufficient hours in one or a combination of the following areas to bring the total hours in general education courses to 45 hours.
If your major is the same as one of the areas below, 10 hours of the major may be counted toward the corresponding general education field as well as the major. For example, if your major is integrated language arts, 10 hours of English may count toward the 45-hour total of general education courses and toward Field 4, below, which is English and/or Foreign Language.
No more than six hours of PED activity courses may be counted toward the degree except for majors in physical education, and none may count toward general education.
Admission to professional education requires a grade of C or better in a Tier I math course, a Tier I English course, and the following courses: Reminder:
