Chemistry Secondary Teaching BS/MEd

Meet with an Advisor in the Department of Chemistry

Meet with an advisor in Chemistry once per semester. This will ensure that you are making the most of your University of Utah experience and staying on track to meet important requirements. Advisors will let you know about course availability, any prerequisites you may need to take, and additional opportunities in the college. Contact the Chemistry advising team here:  https://chem.utah.edu/undergraduate/advising.php

Meet with an Advisor in the Urban Institute for Teacher Education (UITE) (All students in the BS/MEd program must do this)

Meet with an advisor in the College of Education to discuss education course requirements for licensure, prerequisites, and the admissions process to the MEd program.
