The program consists of six courses, in total, for 16 credit hours and 60 hours of field placement. Students may only enroll in the 300-level classes, including the methods course and practicum, once they achieve formal acceptance into the major. ED 341 is a pre-requisite for the 300-level methods and field placement practicum courses.
