Master of Education in Teaching with Certification

Students who hold a Bachelor’s degree must obtain teacher certification at the graduate level at The University of Texas at Arlington. Teacher certification can be earned either through a certification-only program (non-degree seeking) or the Master of Education in Teaching. Click on the program you are interested in to view the coursework required for that program, as well as other helpful information.

If you were previously enrolled in another Texas Teacher Educator Preparation Program; Alternative Certification Program or University-Based Program, you must email christine.pruitt@uta.edu and request a TEA Transfer of Data Form. Failure to do so will result in delay of your program continuance.

IMPORTANT NOTICE for graduate students pursuing initial teacher certification. PLEASE READ.

CONTENT: If you wish to pursue Mid-Level, Secondary, or All-Level certification, you must 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 who has been designated as a Content Advisor before you will be permitted to enroll in Education coursework.
