This concentration is part of the Geaux Teach–Math and Sciences Program. Students will obtain a degree in physics and, upon completing this concentration and meeting any additional requirements of the Louisiana Department of Education, will be eligible for certification in the state of Louisiana as teachers in grades 6-12. 120 Total Sem. Hrs.
1 - Students may take the complete PHYS 2110 , PHYS 2112 , PHYS 2113 sequence in place of the PHYS 1201 , PHYS 1202 sequence. A student who chooses the three semester sequence will require one less credit hour from free electives.
2 - EDCI 2500 will count as one of the General Education social science courses. Some general education courses are taken in different years than in the standard curriculum. Students should plan their course work so that the last semester of the senior year can accommodate the 12 hours that are required to be taken concurrently (EDCI 4006 and EDCI 3136 ). PHYS 4125 and PHYS 4132 are not required for this concentration, but may be used as physics 4000 electives.
3- Students who do not take SCI 2010 and SCI 2011 are recommended to take SCI 2012 by their fourth semester. Credit will not be given for SCI 2012 if credit has been earned in SCI 2010 and SCI 2011 .
4- If SCI 2012 is taken in the fourth semester, then EDCI 3550 should be taken in the sixth semester.
