Overview

Earth science (also called geoscience) explores society's use of resources, resiliency to natural hazards, and the health of the environment. Earth science education teachers need to have the up-to-date knowledge, skills, and credentials to help young minds develop a passion for understanding the physical aspects of the Earth, including its composition, structure, and processes. If you're ready to make a difference for students and inspire future earth scientists, earth science education could be the perfect fit for you.

General requirements

Students who are seeking initial teacher licensure in a bachelor’s, post-baccalaureate, or master’s program must also pass a state-specific basic skills test for the state in which they live as a prerequisite to Student Teaching. (Registering and paying for the test is the student’s responsibility.) This requirement can be met either prior to admission or before beginning the Foundations of Teaching subject area once you are in your WGU program.
WGU’s teacher licensure programs also include Student Teaching. You must be at least 18 years of age before you may begin the application process or participate in Clinical Experiences and Student Teaching. You must also submit to a criminal background check prior to entering the classroom for this component of your program.
