[quote=Anonymous]I have a daughter who is attending UMD. One issue is that the colleges/ certifications are not keeping up with current trends. Many science college students are not getting Biology degrees anymore and going the Public Health route instead (including pre-meds) as there are many requirements for general biology that aren’t super practical. In four years a combined Biology degree/Teaching degree is doable at 125 credits. A Public Health/ middle school teaching degree is not and would require about 180 credits or so. It’s silly that my daughter who had to take harder science labs couldn’t count some of those instead. For a middle school STEM degree, they require much easier lab classes but my daughter will have taken Gen Chem, Organic Chem, 2 Semesters of Anatomy, etc. She absolutely would have gone for a teaching certificate if there was more flexibility but since there is not she will get a minor in another area most likely.[/quote]
