1996-1997 Academic Catalog

68 Science and Mathematics Physics Education The physics education major prepares students to teach physics in public and Christian high schools. Students completing these requirements will receive ce1iification from the state of Ohio and the Association of Christian Schools International. Thirty-five states recognize the Ohio teaching certificate through reciprocal agreements (a complete list of these states is located in the Department ofEducation section of the catalog). Students plal111ing to teach in states other than Ohio should consult with the Department ofEducation regard– ing additional requirements where states have not established reciprocity. Course requirements include 79 hours of physics plus 47 qua1ier hours in secondary education.
