Science Coursework Option
The coursework option to meet your Subject Matter Requirement (SMR) involves completion of a course addressing each of the domains listed for a Subtest. Courses must be degree applicable and non-remedial. You must have passed the course with a grade of C- or better. Each subtest is evaluated independent of the other subtests, so it is possible that you will have coursework to meet the SMR for one subtest but not another.
Here are the domains for each subtest:
Subtest I – Required for all
- Scientific Practices, Engineering Design and Applications, and Crosscutting Concepts
- Physical Sciences
- Life Sciences
- Earth and Space Sciences
Subtest II – Click on your science area for more information
