All entering students in the College of Education declare as a Pre-HDFS, Pre-Health, or Pre-Teaching major and will work with an academic advisor to follow an informational plan leading to successful completion of program requirements. The majors of Human Development and Family Studies, Health, and Elementary and Secondary Teaching and Curriculum require completing a set of specific benchmarks in addition to university core requirements. Once those benchmarks are met, students will be eligible to apply to one of these specific majors within the college.
Students in pre-majors will follow the coursework required on the degree-seeking major degree plans. The required GPA for entry into a pre-major is the same as that for the major: Pre-HDFS is 2.0; pre-Health is 2.3; pre-Teaching is 2.5.
The Benchmark requirements to complete during each pre-major in order to declare for each degree-seeking major are as follows:
