In order to be certified in the State of Texas candidates must first choose the grade level that they wish to teach. If you choose to teach Middle Level or above you must also choose a subject you wish to teach. This is what the State refers to as your 'content area'. You must have a minimum of 24 undergraduate hours in your chosen content area and at least half of those hours must be junior/senior level classes. Your content must be verified by a professor in your discipline that is designated as a Content Advisor before you will be permitted to enroll in classes. Please print the Content Declaration Form and follow the instructions to have your content evaluated.
