The minor program in education offers students the opportunity to prepare for a career
in teaching at the high school level (grades 7 - 12). The program is administered
cooperatively between Case Western Reserve University and John Carroll University.
Course work leading to teacher certification is available to B.A. students in the
following majors: biology, chemistry, earth science (geology), English, French, history,
mathematics, and physics. Students seeking certification in any of these areas complete a
major in their chosen field and a minor in education. The minor consists of 29 credit hours in
professional education, six of which are taken at Case Western Reserve and the remainder
at John Carroll. Completion of a minor in education satisfies the minor requirement for the
B.A. degree.
Teacher certification programs are also offered in art education and music education at
the undergraduate and graduate levels, and in school speech-language pathology at the
graduate level. For further information about these programs, turn to the listings for the
departments of art, music, and communication sciences.
A 3.0 grade point average must be maintained in all professional education courses,
and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 in all coursework is required to be recommended for Ohio
teacher certification. Completion of the minor in education does not ensure that Ohio
teacher certification will be awarded. The Ohio Department of Education also requires that
certification applicants receive passing scores on the General Knowledge, Professional
Knowledge, and Content Area subtests of the National Teachers' Examination. Once
certified, teachers can transfer their Ohio certification to most other states with little or no
additional work.
