How the Cultivation Course Counts for Graduation and Teaching Licenses
The Cultivation course is free-choice for graduation requirements, but it is required for teaching-license acquisition in the applicable curricula. Its course classification and schedule also differ by faculty and academic year.
Graduation and teaching-license requirements
The Cultivation course is worth 1 credit and is classified as free-choice for graduation requirements. However, the course must be completed for teaching-license acquisition. In the 2025 and 2026 Engineering Faculty curricula covered by the supplied records, it is identified as a required course for obtaining the license. The course is also described as covering general and comprehensive content relevant to the license.
Course classification and schedule
The course is listed as a technical required subject and a department-specialized subject. It is a practical or laboratory course worth 1 credit, scheduled for the second year and the first semester. It is offered as an intensive summer course. Its teaching-license classification is Category 2, “specialized matters related to the subject,” with teaching code 1720 for Biology.
