Advisement

The School of Education is responsible for the academic advisement of all students who are either Pre-Education or Education majors, all students who plan to work toward teacher certification, all who are on an Individualized Degree Program (IDP) and all who are recipients of Dr. Antonio C. Yamashita Educator Corps Scholarship awards.  All students should read this catalog carefully as it is the ultimate authority on degree requirements.

An advisement portfolio, to be kept in the School of Education Administration Office, will be developed and maintained by each student.  It will be used as a basis for assessment and advisement throughout the teacher education experience and will be closely monitored at major decision points such as admission to candidacy, student teaching, and graduation.

All students working toward a Bachelor of Arts in Education degree must complete the General Education Program as required by the University.  Students seeking degrees in the School of Education should familiarize themselves with the General Education regulations in this catalog.

Students are advised to check with their advisor concerning specific recommendations of their  major; for example, certain major areas strongly recommend or require specific General Education courses as a part of the major.  (Early commitment to a major or combination of majors leads to more efficient progress).
