Middle School Education Programs

To receive a B.S.Ed. degree in middle school education, you must complete one of the following programs and achieve a passing score on the National Teachers Exam prior to certification. Each program curriculum includes coursework well distributed over two academic concentrations. For example, academic concentration combinations can come from language arts and reading, mathematics, science, and social studies, or other combinations such as mathematics/science or language arts/social studies. Upon completing the program and achieving a passing score on the appropriate fields of the National Teachers Exam, you are eligible for a four-year provisional teaching certificate for grades 4-9.

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 two courses, one in science and one in mathematics. Science courses are biological sciences with lab or physical science with lab. MATH 120, 121, and 122 are recommended; however, all mathematics courses numbered above 120 are acceptable. All Tier I quantitative skills courses also are acceptable.

Comparative Arts and/or Philosophy

You are required to complete at least two courses in this area. The two courses need not be in the same field. Possibilities include any courses in the Department of Philosophy (except PHIL 120) or the School of Comparative Arts; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309; theater history courses; art history courses; School of Art courses 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.

Science majors are required to take PHIL 216 Philosophy of Science, 3 hrs.

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, geography, history, political science, psychology (except PSY 120, 226, 275, 314, and 321), social work, and sociology.

English and/or Foreign Language

You are required to complete at least two courses in English and/or a foreign language. The two courses need not be in the same field. INCO 103, which is required in this area, is counted as one of the two courses needed. Other 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 General Education Requirements in both the English and/or foreign language field AND the comparative and/or philosophy field.)

Freshman and junior English composition courses taken to satisfy the university composition requirement (see General Education Requirement section) also may be used toward completion of these hours.

If the total coursework from each of the above fields does not add up to 45 hours, you must select sufficient hours in one or a combination of the above areas to bring the total hours in general education courses to 45 hours.

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.

Reminder: All students pursuing teacher education programs at Ohio University are subject to the Selective Admission and Retention Program in teacher education. Criteria and procedures are available in Student Services, McCracken Hall 124.

Field Experience

All field experience must be undertaken in a middle school setting. Field experience activities include observation, participation, multicultural field, and student teaching.

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.)

If two courses in each field do not add up to a total of 45 hours, you must elect sufficient hours in one or a combination of the above areas to bring the total hours in general education courses to 45 hours.

If your major or second teaching field is the same as one of the above areas, 10 hours of the major or minor may be counted toward the corresponding general education field as well as the major or minor. For example, if your major is English, 10 hours of English may count toward the 45-hour total of general education courses and toward Field 4, above, 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.

Honors Tutorial Progam in Secondary 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.
