Degree Information

Teacher Certification

Programs leading to teacher certification are available through the College of Education and Human Development. Initial teaching certificates, enabling candidates to teach in the public schools of Texas, can be earned through extended programs which commence with undergraduate studies leading to the baccalaureate degree and which culminate with the completion of selected graduate courses. Graduate courses used to satisfy certification requirements in these extended programs may be used toward satisfying the requirements for the master’s degree. A candidate seeking teacher certification through extended programs must be fully admitted to graduate study as a degree seeking candidate. For more information on these programs, please review the appropriate material in the Texas A&M University Undergraduate Catalog or consult with advisors in the College of Education and Human Development. An individual who already holds a baccalaureate degree in a field other than education and who wishes to acquire an initial teaching certificate should contact the Teacher Certification Office in the College of Education and Human Development. Please see the program descriptions of these departments in this catalog.
