Secondary Education Certification

Geneva offers certification for secondary education students in:

  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • English

Secondary education students major in their desired subject of interest and combine this subject knowledge with professional education courses.

NOTE: Chapter 354, "Preparation of Professional Educators," was enacted in 2000 in Pennsylvania. This law mandates certain regulations in the preparation of professional educators in the state. Students are responsible to be certain they are meeting regularly with their advisors in regard to this legislation. Geneva College is not responsible for students who will not be certified because of failure to meet certification requirements at the time of graduation.
