Per WGU's published description, Secondary Chemistry Curriculum synthesizes the core content of the Secondary Chemistry Program, preparing candidates to apply education theory and teaching approaches to the chemistry content areas. The description states the alignment outright: the course lines up with the areas covered by the Chemistry Praxis exam, ensuring candidates demonstrate both a deep understanding of the subject matter and the ability to effectively deliver content in a secondary classroom setting. The topic list is named: atomic structure, chemical bonding, energy relationships, chemical reactions, solutions, and the role of science and engineering in society. And the entry bar is stated in the catalog's own words: there are no prerequisites for this course.
The September 2026 catalog prints it on exactly one table. The M.A. Teaching, Science Education (Secondary Chemistry) initial-licensure program, 42 CUs across six terms, parks it in term 3 beside D808 General Secondary Methods, D885 Three Dimensional Science and Engineering, and the D726 early clinical, the supervised hours that always stay with the student. It is the graduate twin of D871 Secondary Chemistry Curriculum (EDUC 3080, 3 CUs), the course that closes both bachelor's chemistry tables and the 23-CU Chemistry endorsement for licensed teachers, carrying the same description plus one added sentence about evaluating learning experiences and resources through evidence-based methods of learning science. The licensed-teacher M.A. Science Education (Secondary Chemistry) table runs its own legacy-coded sequence, C672 and C673 in term 1 through BVT2, BWT2, AIT2, C625, and C617, and carries neither code. Quote by the code on your degree audit, and we price that course.
