Content Area Major/Concentration Requirements
Students should choose one concentration/major in a content area and complete all courses as listed. Students must complete at least half of their intended concentration/major at Fisher. The inclusive adolescence education degree program is a dual certification program comprised of the inclusive adolescence education major and a content area concentration/major. The program results in certification in Adolescence Education (grades 7–12) in the chosen content area and Students with Disabilities (grades 7–12) Generalist with the option to add Middle School Extension (grades 5–6) in the content area. This program is designed to prepare candidates to teach in one of the following disciplines at the middle and adolescence levels (grades 7–12 or grades 5-12): biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, social studies, English, and Earth science.
