Science (Secondary)
Students who have declared or completed a teachable major and minor in a science discipline may complete additional courses to add an integrated science secondary endorsement to their secondary teaching certificate. The endorsement (obtained upon passing the Michigan Department of Education MDE Integrated Science Test) will certify teachers to teach general science, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics at the secondary level (grades six through 12).
