What areas of study may I become certified in to teach at the secondary level? What is the difference between an academic major and minor and a teaching major and minor?
Not all academic majors are considered teaching majors. For example, academic majors such as business administration, communication studies, linguistics, and history of art are not subjects that are part of the high school curriculum and, as a result, are not options for certification. When selecting a teaching major and minor, you must keep in mind several factors including, primarily, your level of interest and proficiency in, as well as, the marketability of the subject areas. Visit our pages for the bachelor of arts with secondary teacher certification or master of arts with secondary certification program pages for a complete list of possible teaching majors and minors at the University of Michigan, and course-by-course self-advising sheets.
