Dual Areas of Concentration
In accordance with middle-level licensure in Arkansas, preservice teachers must choose a dual area of concentration with requisite number of hours for both the primary and supporting areas of concentration. Primary/supporting areas are English/social studies (54 hours), social studies/English (55 hours), mathematics/science (53 hours), or science/mathematics (52-53 hours). This dual emphasis lends itself to interdisciplinary instruction that is reflective of middle-level philosophy.
