Once candidates formally progress to the concentration, they must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 while in the program. Students must earn a grade of B or better in SCED 434 , TPTE 496 , INPG 385 , and TPTE 435 , and a C or better in all math and science content or major courses. Students with less than a 2.75 GPA for two consecutive semesters will be dropped from the program. Students who fail to meet the standards for professional conduct during the course of their fieldwork will not be retained in the major.
uTrack Requirements
Universal Tracking (uTrack) is an academic monitoring system designed to help students stay on track for timely graduation.
