Related Courses
Core courses are those courses offered in a department directly related to your teachable (e.g., English 1020 in
the Department of English).
A related course is a course with considerable content in your teachable subject area but that perhaps is
offered in a different department and may be used towards the teaching subject (e.g., Classical Studies for
History). The chart below provides examples of acceptable related courses. If you are doubtful about whether

*Family Studies Family Studies is an interdisciplinary subject area integrating social and physical sciences in the study of topics arising from daily life. It includes the study of individual and family development, relationships, parenting, decision making, resource management, food and nutrition, clothing and textiles, housing and health science. Many universities do not have comprehensive degree programs offering courses in the above areas and so most people who select Family Studies as one of their teaching subjects do not have a degree that covers those areas. Instead, most candidates satisfy the prerequisite requirement through courses taken in other departments which focus on issues related to the Family Studies curriculum, such as the following:

Sociology of the Family Human Development Consumer Studies Aging/Gerontology Child Psychology Family Economics Gender Equity Issues Adolescent Psychology Family Law Women’s Studies Human Sexuality Retail Merchandising Multiculturalism Foods & Nutrition/Well Being Clothing & Textiles

Courses may be offered through departments such as Consumer Studies, Family Studies, Foods and Nutrition, Human Ecology, Psychology, Sociology, etc.

To consider courses on your undergraduate or graduate degree transcripts not obviously related to teaching subjects or elementary school general academic areas, you must submit course descriptions by the application deadline. Course descriptions must be copied or printed directly from the granting institution’s academic calendar. Western reserves the right to accept or deny the appropriateness of any course submitted for consideration. Please submit descriptions to:
