Secondary Education Emphasis – Associate of Science
The associate of science degree in secondary education is
designed for students seeking careers in secondary education
(junior and senior high schools). The degree requirements include
awell balancedgeneral educationcurriculum. Specific curriculum
provides students with educational theory and practical field
work in the secondary education school settings. In addition,
students will also need to select a “teaching major” and complete
some of the coursework prior to transfer. This course of study
is designated as a university transfer program that substantially
meets the requirements for the first two years of study for the B.S.
or B.A. in secondary education majors at UNR. Students need to
be aware that admission into UNR teacher education programs
is competitive based on grades and experience. Passing scores
on the PPST or CBEST test are required, and applications are
reviewed twice a year (October 1 for spring entrance and March
1 for fall entrance to the program). Transfer to UNR is advised for
the semester prior to program admission, to complete additional
premajor course requirements.
