Things I need to know

• In order to be a secondary education major I need to pass Praxis I. I have to have that completed before I can further my study in the program. Financial help for the Praxis, in the form of a fee waiver, is due 2 months before the actual test date.
  
• Practicum is the next step in the education program at UMF. I need to get at least a C in English 100, Education 101, and Special Education 125. Registering for Practicum is done by filling out paperwork and giving it to Kristen Hickey, a secretary for the Education department at UMF. She will set up an interview to get into the program.
  
• The process to switch majors and get into the education major is almost like applying to the college itself. There is an application on ecampus, along with a photocopy of your scores on the Praxis I, and an entrance essay explaining why you want to be an education major. All of those are needed to be turned in together to Kristen Hickey to be admitted into the program.
