Academic Backgrounds

Applicants should have a major or minor in the subject area in which they wish to teach. In the course of Fellowship selection, we will review all applicants' transcripts to clarify completed coursework in STEM disciplines. Some additional undergraduate courses may be required by a partner institution if a candidate's previous experience does not yet meet the institution's minimum standard for content knowledge in a given area.
