Admission Program Objective Code S200S
State CIP Code 1101313165
The first sixty credits in the following program of study are designed to prepare students not only for the A.A. degree, but also for the General Knowledge exam and Middle Grades General Science Subject Area exam of the Florida Teacher Certification Exam (FTCE).
If you plan to be a middle grades science teacher and are just beginning your A.A. degree, this program of study will best prepare you for that career choice. If you have already completed your A.A. degree and some of your general education courses differ from those listed below, your A.A. degree will still meet that component of the admission process; however, you may need to complete additional coursework, independent study, or workshops to be well prepared for the FTCE Middle Grades General Science Subject Area exam. A passing score on the FTCE Middle Grades General Science Subject Area exam is one of the graduation requirements for this degree. For a detailed summary of graduation requirements for this degree program, see the Bachelor of Science graduation requirement section.
Courses with the “C” designation include extra hours to accommodate field experiences.
Substitutions for any coursework in this program of study must be approved by the Teacher Education Department Chair. Please note that some courses below may require lower division prerequisites not specified as program requirements. Requirements for Teacher Education programs may change due to legislative mandates. Candidates should request the most current requirements from the Teacher Education Department Chair.

Note(s):
1 Other general education natural science courses may meet this program requirement; see your advisor.
2 All students must take a two-course science sequence with a lab. Students who substitute CHM 1045C or PHY 1053C for BSC 1010C in their GE coursework, must substitute CHM 1046C or PHY 1054C for BSC 1011C in the state-mandated prerequisites. Remember that NWFSC GE requirements include a biological science; this college requirement cannot be waived for students completing their A.A. degree at NWFSC. Note: BSC 1011C serves as a prerequisite for ISC 4145 , which is required in the B.S. Middle Grades Science Teacher Education program. Therefore, the most efficient lower-division course selection includes BSC 1010C to meet the GE biological science requirement, followed by BSC 1011C . This course sequence meets GE requirements, state-mandated prerequisite requirements, and one prerequisite for a course in upper division.
3 Some students may have satisfied this requirement in their General Education courses, in which case another college credit course may be substituted here.
4 Students who have not met the foreign language requirement at the high school level must complete (8) college credits of foreign language. |
