Language Literature English Education The English education major prepares students to teach English in both public and Christian schools in grades 7-12. Students who complete this curriculum will be certified by the State of Ohio and the Association of Christian Schools International. The Ohio teaching certificate, through reciprocal agreements, is automati– cally recognized in twenty-six states. Those planning to teach in states other than Ohio should consult with the "Department of Education" to be aware of special requirements in states where reciprocity has not been established.
