(for Bachelor of Arts)
Application for Graduation (use ) must be made at least two terms in advance of the term expected to graduate (undergraduate and post-baccalaureate).
Use the to determine .
- The catalog in effect at the student's first term of current matriculation is used to determine BACR (Breadth Area Core Requirements) and UGR (Undergraduate Graduation Requirements).
- The catalog in effect at the time the student declares a major or minor is used to determine the program requirements.
Students who earn a BS in Geosciences - Secondary Education from 51福利社 should be able to:
- demonstrate understanding of core concepts in earth and space science;
- show evidence of integrating the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards;
- apply best practices to teach earth and space science that are outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards;
- demonstrate effective strategies for teaching earth and space science to a community of diverse students;
- describe the procedures for responding to potential safety hazards in the laboratory, classroom, and field.
