Science Middle Level Course Work:
These are the courses or equivalents that when attached to a degree or license in elementary or secondary education will lead to an endorsement in middle level science. The Fort Hays State University (FHSU) Elementary and Secondary Education Programs to which this middle level science endorsement will be added is a fully approved program of study by both the Kansas State Department of Education (KDSE) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The following is the professional education course work indigenous to an elementary program and a secondary program at Fort Hays State University:
