School of Curriculum and Instruction
The School of Curriculum and Instruction (C & I) comprises four major program areas: elementary education, middle school education, secondary education, and special education. The school provides the opportunity for students admitted to professional education to pursue undergraduate courses leading to teacher certification in the state of Ohio.

If both your major and second teaching field are the same as one of the above areas, up to 10 hours of the major and second teaching field may meet requirements for the corresponding general education field, as well as in the academic major and second teaching field. For example, if your major is language arts and reading, then 10 hours of English may count toward the 45-hour total of General Education Requirements and also toward the English and/or foreign language field above. The same concept applies to mathematics, science, and social studies.
No more than three hours of PED activity courses may be counted toward the degree except for majors or minors in physical education, and none may count toward general education.

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.
If you are admitted to the Honors Tutorial College in an academic major, you may become certified in secondary education by combining two sets of tutorial experiences: one in the academic area and one in secondary education. By completing both tutorial programs in addition to other certification requirements, you will receive secondary teaching certification and a bachelor's degree from the Honors Tutorial College. For further information, contact Dr. Edward Stevens, Coordinator, Honors Tutorial Program in Secondary Education.
Regardless of the college of the university from which you graduate, to achieve certification through Ohio University to teach art, you must complete the following program and earn passing scores on the National Teachers Exam (core/battery and the visual arts specialty test). This program leads to a four-year provisional special field certificate in art allowing you to teach art in grades K-12 inclusive.
To become an art education major, you must complete ART 260 with a grade of 2.75 or better and submit a portfolio of studio work for review with a writing sample during your sophomore year. Portfolio reviews are held the first week of May. The faculty of the art education area will review portfolios and will accept as majors those students whose portfolios are deemed satisfactory.
If you are interested in majoring in art education, you are encouraged to meet with advisors in both the College of Education and the School of Art.

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.
Science and Mathematics
You are required to complete at least one course in science and one course in mathematics. Appropriate science courses are astronomy, chemistry, physics, plant biology, biological science, physical science, geological sciences, and PSY 226, 312, and 314. Any course in the Department of Mathematics, except 101 or 320, is acceptable for the mathematics requirement. Also, all Tier I quantitative skills courses count toward the mathematics requirement. Computer science courses do not satisfy this requirement.
Comparative Arts and/or Philosophy
You are required to complete at least two courses in this area. The two courses need not be in one field. Possibilities include any courses in the Department of Philosophy (except PHIL 120) or School of Comparative Arts; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309; theater history courses; Art History; Art except for ART 360, 461, 462; School of Music courses except for music education courses, music therapy courses, and the one- or two-hour participation courses.
Social Sciences
You are required to complete at least two courses in social sciences. The two courses need not be in the same field. PSY 101, which is required, is included as one of the social sciences courses. Other possibilities include any course in anthropology, economics, economic education, history, political science, sociology, social work, geography, and psychology, except PSY 120, 226, 275, 312, and 314.
English and/or Foreign Language
You are required to complete at least two courses in English and/or foreign language. The two courses need not be in the same field. Freshman and junior English composition courses taken to satisfy the university English composition requirement (see General Education Requirements section) may be used toward completion of these hours. Either INCO 103 (or THAR 110Y for English majors only) is a specific requirement in this area and is counted as one of the two courses needed. Possibilities in this area include all English courses except ENG 451 and 452; any linguistics courses; any foreign language courses except ML 410 and 445; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309. (These humanities courses may NOT count toward the General Education Requirements in both the English and/or foreign language field and the comparative arts and/or philosophy field.)
