Health Education (Grades K-12) Minor

Requirements

UW-Superior education programs are approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to fulfill specific licensure requirements for the state of Wisconsin at the time of degree completion.  Some requirements may unavoidably change as state requirements change; stay in close communication with your advisors throughout your program.  If you seek licensure in a state other than Wisconsin, please see the UW-Superior Institutional Certification office web page for further information and assistance.

This minor, in conjunction with the Instruction minor and appropriate student teaching, may be completed with any major to lead to WisconsinK-12 teacher licensure.  Students completing this minor with the Physical Education (Grades K-12) Major do not need the Instruction minor, but do need appropriate student teaching in K-12 health, to be eligible for health teacher licensure.
