This program is designed to allow students\u00a0interested in teaching at the secondary school level. With proper scheduling, the program can provide both the breadth and depth required by the State of California and the USC School of Education for a Single Subject Teaching credential. Contact the\u00a0Undergraduate Office\u00a0in the Physics Department for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Degree listings here reflect current requirements. Since actual graduation requirements depend on the specific year which a student enters USC, students should always consult with their faculty advisor to determine course
