Subject Matter Preparation

In order for you to develop both the breadth and depth of understanding necessary to teach a diverse group of students, 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 academic 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.

Below are the program's general studies requirements and the requirements for the various teaching majors and minors. Click on the links below to view the general studies, teaching major and teaching minor requirements.
