The following
regulation is issued by the president to govern teacher education programs
offered by the constituent universities.
1. Students
enrolled in undergraduate teacher education programs must complete a minimum of
18 credit hours in a second academic concentration. This minimum requirement reflects a change
from the previous requirement of 24 credit hours.

campuses may establish interdisciplinary second academic concentrations to
allow for greater understanding in more than one related content area. Examples
of interdisciplinary concentrations include but are not limited to: Global Studies;
Science, Mathematics, and Technology; Diversity/Multicultural Studies; and
Linguistics/Second Language Learning.
3. Special education programs are
exempt from the second academic concentration requirement.
4. The design and modification of the
second academic concentrations shall reside with the constituent campus. Each campus will be responsible for
certifying that the second academic concentrations established for their
teacher education programs align with the regulations listed herein.
5. The above regulation is effective as
of the 2004 fall semester for incoming freshmen, transfer students, and any
students entering teacher education programs.
