Subject Matter Preparation
In order for you to develop both the breadth and depth of understanding necessary to teach a diverse group of children, your teaching major and minor should each be comprised of a coherent program of study. To facilitate this coherence, we have done two things: 1) outlined specific general studies requirements, and 2) carefully designed the possible teaching majors and minors to take advantage of the University of Michigan's rich academic resources and to meet State of Michigan requirements for initial certification. The following teaching majors correspond to core elements of the elementary school curriculum; the teaching minor options include the possibility of a fine arts option.
