Chemistry Education, B.S.

Piedmont’s undergraduate secondary education program addresses the continuing shortage of highly qualified teachers in Georgia. Designed to prepare teachers who have more “hands- on” experience, the program enables candidates to observe and assist with teaching in 6-12th grade classrooms. Candidates also experience the impact that diversity has on schooling and consider the implications on teaching and learning. Candidates study and reflect upon the knowledge, skills, and dispositions (habits of mind) required for successful teachers—both in their college classes and during field work. Requiring a content major in the field of study, this program culminates in a full year Apprentice Teaching experience in area schools.

The major in chemistry education requires 89 hours, comprised of the following courses In order to successfully complete this program, students must be admitted to the Teacher Education program and adhere to all of the requirements. (Course descriptions)
