Due to the structure of the coursework at Urbana, if you take one of the middle school courses at Urbana you must take all three courses in order to meet the middle grade requirement. Each institutions divides the middle school content differently, therefore, it is strongly recommended that you take all middle school coursework at the same institution. Students in the Teacher Education Minor in Secondary School Teaching have this content embedded in the minor and do not need to take the aforementioned courses.
