Content Advisors: Secondary/High School and All-Level Students

Students who want to teach at the secondary (high school) level or who want to teach all-level subjects such as art, music, or physical education, should start their educational journey with a content advisor through the college/school/department related to that subject. Secondary (high school) and all-level students should inform their content advisor that they wish to teach. The advisor will provide a degree plan and inform the student when they are eligible to talk to a College of Education advisor.
