If you are a passionate environmentalist with a desire to teach, Endicott presents a unique set of advantages on your way to licensure.

Increasing public interest in environmental causes has led to a widespread push to incorporate environmental education into our school systems. Endicott's rigorous academics combined with its 235-acre living-classroom setting will provide a wealth of experiences that bring the ""real world"" into focus.

Environmental science majors may pursue Massachusetts state licensure by completing the secondary education concentration. In doing so, you will be eligible to receive a license to teach Earth and Space Science, grades 8-12, in Massachusetts.

The experience you gain at Endicott is comprehensive. You will complete freshman and sophomore internships in a range of school settings, a sophomore and junior field experience connected to your secondary education courses, a junior year pre-practicum, and senior year full practicum experience. Upon graduation, you will have completed all of the requirements necessary to apply for an initial license in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and you will be eligible to pursue licensure in many other states. Students receive free preparation for the required Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL) as part of the program.
