Post-Baccalaureate
Program for Teacher Certification
Persons who already have
baccalaureate degrees may seek teacher certification. They should consult with
an advisor in the Teacher Development Center to develop a certification plan
after they have been admitted to the university through the Office of Admissions.
Post-Baccalaureate students must meet the 24 semester hour requirement in the
appropriate teaching field. A certification plan will be developed based on an
evaluation of the student’s transcript. Post‑Baccalaureate students must demonstrate computer literacy, effective
public speaking, and complete 12 semester hours of English. All students
must fulfill the UT Dallas requirements for student teaching or supervised
internship.
See the website – http://www.utdallas.edu/teach
for the most current information and course requirements.
Graduate
Degrees
Individuals pursuing an advanced
degree should consider programs leading to a Master of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies degree in the School of Interdisciplinary Studies or
the Master of Arts in Teaching
degree in Humanities, Mathematics Education, or Science Education. The M.A.T.
is aimed at developing a master teacher whose competence in the discipline is
enhanced by the ability to create an effective teaching environment.
Certification requirements may also be used to fulfill some graduate degree
requirements. Requirements for the M.A.T. degree may require additional
professional education course work. Interested students should contact an
advisor in the School of Arts and Humanities or Science/Mathematics Education
or School of Interdisciplinary Studies.
