ECON 52130, GEOG 32101: Either Economics or Geography is required in the major in special education; both are required for elementary education.

EDUC 61471: When combined with a major in special education, there are two Directed Teaching placements of 6 hours each (one elementary and one special education for a total of 12.) Each major, taken separately, would require 12 hours of directed teaching, so the dual major does NOT add additional Directed Teaching hours. Therefore, only 9 additional hours are required to complete both majors.

ECON 52151, GEOG 32101: (if not taken as part of special ed.)

Total Credit Hours: 9
