Childhood Education and Special Education/Childhood Education Majors are required to complete an academic concentration of 30-33 credits in a specific discipline. The specific science courses taken will depend on whether the student chooses a science concentration (biology, earth science, or general science) or a non-science concentration (American Studies, English/Language Arts, French/Spanish, Mathematics, Social Studies, or Spanish).
