The B.S.Ed. in secondary education is intended to prepare students for successful careers as teachers of children in middle school/junior high and high school settings. The secondary education degree is divided into two concentrations: early adolescence, for middle school/junior high settings, and adolescence/young adulthood, for high school settings. Pre-service teachers must choose one or both concentrations to complete the degree. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, and the other requirements listed under Teacher Licensure in the Special Academic Regulations, you are eligible to apply for an Indiana teaching license.
