Additional Information From NC State University:

The Middle Grades Education (BS): Mathematics and Sciences Concentration (BS) program in the Department of Teacher Education and Learning Sciences seeks to prepare teachers who can effectively educate young adolescents while being responsive to their unique needs, interests, and abilities. Graduates earn an undergraduate degree and initial licensure for teaching in grades 6-9 in two subject disciplines: Mathematics and Sciences.  During the course of this program, students will complete several middle school field experiences, including a year-long senior student teaching internship. Please see the College of Education website for more information. 

Remaining NC State Bachelor's Degree Requirements are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Unless otherwise noted, all courses are required major courses and will not be part of the General Education fulfillment awarded by associate degree transfer and CAA eligibility.

Students may utilize the NC State Transfer Planner in conjunction with this Transfer Guide to see how their transfer coursework fulfills major requirements. Please note that the Transfer Planner does not reflect CAA eligibility or GEP fulfillment.
