The History with Teacher Certification Option is for students who would like to major in History and gain Illinois state certification at the secondary level to teach all of the social sciences (history, economics, geography, political science, psychology and sociology/anthropology). Students must receive a grade of “C” or better in all courses in the major and maintain a minimum cumulative and major G.P.A. of 2.75. For students also wanting to be eligible to teach middle school history, additional Middle Level Education courses are required.

This option requires that students follow and meet the requirements for Admission, Retention and Graduation from Teacher Certification programs as described in the “Teacher Certification Programs” section of this catalog and as explained at the University Admission to Teacher Education Meeting which all students must attend. Students must gain University Approval to Take Teacher Education Courses no later than the end of their first semester Junior year in order to use this suggested plan. Additional information on Admission, Retention and Graduation for Teacher Certification programs can be found on the College of Education & Professional Studies website at www.eiu.edu/ceps/teached.

All students must pass the Illinois Certification Test of Basic Skills for selection into teacher education and should complete this requirement no later than their sophomore year.

Students must receive a “C” or better in all professional education courses and maintain a minimum cumulative and major GPA of 2.65 in order to continue in the education program.  Students must receive a “C” or better in all professional education and major courses, and maintain a minimum cumulative and major GPA of 2.75, in order to be approved for student teaching.
