Certifications Offered
Undergraduate students interested in teaching secondary mathematics and science have the option to pursue a teaching degree. Requirements for this 4-year degree plan include certification. Students may also keep their major (in any college) and take the coursework required for certification.
Certification requirements are the same for degree-holders. If you already hold an undergraduate degree, click here for information about applying to the UTeach program.
