Education majors may opt to enroll in additional courses to earn an area of emphasis distinction on their transcript or to add an endorsement to their future teaching license. To add an endorsement to your state license, the appropriate PRAXIS content test must be passed. The coursework listed below provides a core of understanding to support you in preparing for the appropriate PRAXIS content exam. Not all areas of emphasis are aligned with a Praxis exam. Christian Ministry, Computer Science, and Graphic Design are areas that do not have an affiliated Praxis exam. Instead, these areas make the teacher better prepared for other school and district needs for example, STEM, website creation, and Christian private schools.
