Teacher Education

Loyola’s sequence in secondary education allows students to apply for certification in grades 6-12. The courses are integrated with the student’s major and general education courses. When students graduate, they will receive a degree in the major (either Classical Studies [Latin], English [Literature or Writing], Mathematics, Modern Foreign Language [French or Spanish], Science [Chemistry, Physics, Biology, or Environmental Science], or Social Studies [History]), and be ready to apply for a teaching certificate from the state of Louisiana.
