What are the requirements to teach science in secondary education in Illinois?

I will be majoring in Microbiology in college with minors in Chemistry and Secondary Education. Chemistry is required for the major I chose.





From what research I've done, I've found that people with a degree in Microbiology are in high demand to teach high school Biology and Chemistry.


I think I want to work in medical research. Teaching is my backup plan. I would still like to be certified to teach.





I can't seem to find what the requirements for someone with my major are to get a teaching certificate.


Does anyone know where I can find this information?


Also, what will this minor entail?


Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!


Thanks!
