The Minor in Secondary Education is intended for students who plan to enter a graduate teacher education program and be licensed in Secondary Education. While the minor is not a requirement for admission to the PSU Graduate Teacher Education Program (GTEP), it does include the prerequisites and highly reco mended courses for admission to the program. Students must also complete the content courses required by the department for the subject they plan to teach to apply to GTEP. Students seeking a license for secondary education must complete a graduate-level licensure program. The Graduate School of Education provides the teacher licensure as part of the GTEP.
