Suggested Course Sequencing – Elementary Certification
Students typically complete their education courses in three semesters; Fall Spring, and Summer. Students who are seeking endorsements outside of Maine may need additional course work. Students who are missing 1-2 courses for the liberal arts major may, after their first full-time semester, take an overload of 1 class per semester if their GPA is 3.3 or greater, by making a request to the Division of Education.
