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 School of Interdisciplinary Studies as a
Post-Baccalaureate student. 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 U.T. 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 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 Science/Mathematics Education or School of
Interdisciplinary Studies.
