Successful completion of Salem College curricular requirements does not guarantee licensure. To obtain a professional teaching license in any area, candidates must pass all state-required licensure tests.
Candidates wishing to teach middle (6-8) or secondary (9-12) content, art (K-12), or second language (French or Spanish) currently major in the discipline they plan to teach: art (licensure concentration) for art; English for language arts; biology or chemistry for science; economics, history, psychology or sociology for social sciences; mathematics for math; or Spanish for second language. Candidates should seek advising from the Director of Teacher Education as early as possible in their degree programs.
