Optional Secondary Certification Programs
Certification in one or more of these optional programs is available only to students who have successfully completed an approved full certification program in another (first or primary) teaching area.
These optional programs give individuals the opportunity to teach in more than one area. These options lead to full certification in the subject or subject area for grades 7 through 12. A cumulative 2.5 grade point average is required in all courses attempted in the subject or subject area. K-State will recommend an endorsement to the teaching certificate for any additional teaching area when all requirements have been completed, provided all requirements of the approved degree program and the secondary area of certification have also been completed.
