Secondary Education Advisement

  • Advisement for all students in Master of Science-Secondary Education (MSEd) and Bachelor of Science-Secondary Education (BSEd) programs is through the home department. Refer to the Secondary Education contact list below to find your program coordinator and advisor.
  • To register for the next semester, all students with fewer than 75 hours (or less than 3 total releases) must have an online release by an advisor. However, it is recommended that all students meet with an advisor each semester.
  • All Secondary Education programs require Admission to Teacher Education Requirements
