What is the most important information to review in a college catalog?
• To understand what sort of course work will satisfy a requirement, check the college catalog for a college offering a teacher education program leading to the same certificate for which you have applied. • Then, look for the general course-by-course description of the program, which is usually displayed as a list of courses with course number, title and number of credits. • Once you find a course that may meet the requirements for your deficiency, compare the course description to the requirement description. If the information is a close match, then the course will likely be acceptable. • For Content Core or General Core courses, look for courses offered by the Department in question (Biology Department, English Department, etc).
