Completion of a teacher licensure minor does not guarantee that the individual will be granted an endorsement to teach in that field. Individuals must meet all requirements (including state tests) as set forth by the Illinois State Board of Education to be granted an endorsement in a second teaching field. The endorsement requires a minimum of 12 semester hours of upper-division coursework (3000 level or above) in the content.
