With the added secondary general business education licensure, you can complete the business core curriculum and the professional education curriculum requirements within 126 credit hours. This option will allow you to become a licensed educator in business for students in 6th through 12th grade. When pursuing this path, you will work in collaboration with the LMU School of Business and the Carter & Moyers School of Education.
