Transfer Track/Science Education

AREA OF CONCENTRATION: These transfer tracks are designed to prepare students for upper division studies in one of several fields in science education. The completion of the four year program in science education will lead to Florida certification in high school science. Students may have additional requirements for admission to a teacher‐preparatory program. Please contact a GCSC adviser or the transfer institution for further guidance.

All education majors should be aware that state of Florida teacher certification requires a thorough background check by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement prior to students entering the classroom for observations. The college requires the submission of written verification of approved and completed background checks before students may complete on‐site course requirements. Student doing observations in school systems must go to the district in which they will do their observations and comply with the requirements of that system. The students will be required to pay a fee for the cost of the background check.
