It is
recommended that within
the “Other Required
Hours,” pre- education
students in Middle Grades
Education select courses
that will help meet
the mandated academic
(second major) concentration.
These courses should
be selected in conjunction
with the requirements
at each university,
since available academic
(second major) concentrations
and their specific requirements
differ on each campus.
In order to be consistent
with NC licensure areas,
Middle Grades Education
students should select
courses from up to two
(2) of the following
areas: Social Sciences,
English, Mathematics,
Sciences. (Note: UNC-Asheville
students major in an
academic area and the
selected 21 hours should
be in sync with their
intended major/ program.)
Typically offered academic
concentrations are biology,
English, history, mathematics,
and psychology. One
hour of ACA maybe included
in a 65-hour degree
program.
