Is the additional degree required? Pursuing an additional degree is a personal choice; it is not required. It is an opportunity to extend a student’s qualifications as a teacher by taking additional courses in an Arts and Sciences program.
PROCESS
Students cannot apply for the Additional Degree for Teacher Education Students until after admission to the Neag School of Education. CLAS students who wish to receive pre-teaching advising, while maintaining their CLAS major and advisor, can do so through the ACES program. To designate your pre-teaching interest, please visit the ACES office in ROWE, Room 111. The “pre-teaching” major will be added to your record and you will be assigned an ACES advisor who will work with you while you pursue admission to the Neag School of Education. You can also meet with Neag academic advisors.
Similarly, an ACES student who wishes to declare a major in CLAS and begin working with a CLAS major advisor can do so by visiting the appropriate CLAS department. The CLAS major and advisor will be added, along with the Pre-Teaching major and ACES advisor, to the student’s record. See the list of department contacts under the “Documents and Forms” section of this site for designees in CLAS who can help with this process.
