What are the pre-requisites for a minor teaching area?
The prerequisite for the minor is four semester units of study with at least two units studied at second year university level. The minor teaching area must be in a different discipline from your major area. For example, six units of physics and four units of chemistry are both science subjects and therefore do not constitute a major and a minor. Six units of physics and four of mathematics do constitute a major and a minor. The minor teaching area will prepare you to teach students in years 8 to 10. If you do not have a second discipline area in your degree then you may choose one of three minor areas for which there is no prerequisite. These are: • Information and Communication Technology, • Special Education, and • Career Education.
