At University of Oregon, undergraduates who are preparing to be middle/high school teachers major in the subject area they want to teach.  These students will enroll in a graduate teacher education program such as UOTeach that will result in a teaching license and master’s degree after completing their undergraduate degrees.  The Certificate in Educational Foundations: Secondary is designed to complement the subject area preparation of undergraduates who desire to be middle/high school teachers. The Certificate in Educational Foundations: Secondary does not result in a teaching license.

To explore or add the Certificate in EdF: Secondary, please schedule an advising appointment at the College of Education Student Academic Services Center. [https://education.uoregon.edu/student-academic-services]

To drop the Certificate in EdF: Secondary, please email a COE Undergraduate Advisor.
