Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) Notes

1 The Clinical Experience II course is taught under course number 4300 in various departments. Course title varies among departments.

2 The Special Methods II course is taught under course number 5400.

3 SCED 4300 and LING 5400 must be taken during the same semester, and should be the last courses taken for the major or minor. These courses should be taken the fall semester before student teaching. Please note SCED 4300 and LING 5400 are listed here twice, in both the STEP and the major requirements for those seeking the French Teaching emphasis major/non-licensure so the non-licensure majors understand the complete list of requirements. See additional non-licensure information below.

Total Credits: 60 (31 credits + 29 STEP credits)
Grade Point Average to Declare Major: 2.5 Career GPA
Grade Point Average to Graduate with Major: 2.5 GPA within major coursework
USU Credit Requirement: At least half (50 percent) of the credits earned for this degree must be completed in upper-division USU courses having prefixes of FREN or LING. All other credits (including transfer and study abroad credits) must be approved by the program’s academic advisor in order to be counted toward the major. Students who have completed Bridge Program Language courses should contact their advisor as these courses may count toward elective credits and credits toward major requirements. French Bridge courses count toward electives for the French Teaching Emphasis major.
Minimum Grade Requirement: All courses for the major and all STEP courses require a minimum grade of C or better. Courses for the major may not be taken on a pass/fail basis, except study abroad course FREN 3030 .
Note: Students with prior language credit or language experience should take the department placement test before admission to the French or French teaching emphasis major or minor. Credits obtained in lower-division French courses cannot be applied toward the French major or minor programs.

Note:
The following requirements only specify courses offered by the Department of World Languages and Cultures. To be licensed to teach in the Utah public secondary school system, students with a teaching emphasis must also complete additional courses (approximately 29 credits) required by the Secondary Education Program. Courses may be subject to change, and students should contact the Secondary Education Advising Office for a current course list of STEP requirements.
