A student may be awarded a degree in two of the fields listed above provided that all the requirements for both majors are fulfilled. Courses from one major may serve as electives for the other. Completion of a double major normally requires additional attendance at the University following the completion of requirements for the first degree. For purposes of record-keeping, applicants are asked to indicate a “first” and “second” major.
Individuals seeking professional licensure as teachers have several options available at Christian Brothers University. Teacher licensure in Tennessee requires that a student have an academic major. For students who wish to become licensed as secondary teachers (grades 7-12) the available majors include: biology, chemistry, English, history, mathematics, or physics. Those who desire a license for elementary school (grades K-5) may choose the liberal studies major, and those desiring middle school licensure (6-8) may choose cultural studies. Individuals who already possess a bachelor’s degree may acquire a teaching license through the post-baccalaureate teacher licensure program. Students must meet the requirements of one of the academic majors listed above and complete the professional studies component offered by the Department of Education. See Requirements for Teacher Licensure for more details.
