Education: Secondary Education-Broadfield Science transfer to Salish Kootenai College

In Montana, those desiring to become secondary teachers (grades 5-12) must pursue a bachelor degree in a certifiable major, often with a minor, from a four-year college or university. Most four-year institutions in Montana offer secondary teaching degrees, but offerings for majors and minors vary from school to school. Secondary education students can complete two years of study at FVCC in most majors.
