* The CoS TPP opened to students in the 2000-01 academic year.
(Physics/Physical Science graduates are certified to teach physics.)

Commentary on PhysTEC Teachers data:

  • The numbers of PhysTEC teachers in the table above indicate the number of teachers prepared (completely or partially) in the CoS TPP. Over the eight years of the program’s existence, some students complete some of the program’s courses, and go on to either complete another certification program or obtain teaching jobs that do not require certification. The numbers in the table above include eight science teachers who did not complete the CoS TPP, but who are teaching.
