What will I learn?

Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, at the University of Cincinnati, prepares graduates to become licensed and highly qualified teachers for learners at the junior and senior high school levels, grades 7-12. Students in our program gain experience teaching in urban and diverse school settings, using research-based teaching practices to meet the needs of all learners in their classes. At the secondary level, graduates specialize in one core disciplinary subject: Integrated English/Language Arts, Integrated Mathematics, Integrated Social Studies, Integrated Science, or Physics.

A single-subject Physics license prepares students to teach general science grades 7 & 8, and high school physical science, astronomy, or physics classes, including AP with appropriate training. Students who select a single subject physics license to take the equivalent of a physics major in addition to the supporting mathematics courses and breadth of science coursework. All students are prepared to plan and lead instruction that builds learners' understanding of foundational science concepts, engages learners in problem-solving and laboratory experiences, and develops collaborative teamwork to solve engineering and design projects.
