The UMW Department of Education strongly recommends that candidates seek licensure in more than one subject area (by combining one teaching major with at least one other teaching major or teaching minor) to increase their hiring options. For Biology majors, adding the General Science Broadfield Major is recommended. A Coaching Option is also available with any teaching major, but does not lead to licensure.
