Program Description
The Teacher Certification program is designed to prepare individuals to teach at the elementary or secondary education level. Applicants interested in pursuing the teacher certification should contact the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at (936) 294-1129 or masterci@shsu.edu for more information. To complete a certification plan, contact Molly Doughtie at mxd_edu@shsu.edu.
Depending on the semester of enrollment, this certification program may be completed in twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four months.
The Teacher Certification program at 麻豆精品 is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the State Board of Education Certification through the Texas Accountability System for Educator Preparation Program.
Applicants may also seek the Teacher Certification in coordination with the Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction.
Admissions
Student applications for admission to the graduate programs in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction are assessed holistically on multiple criteria by a faculty committee. To be considered, applicants should submit the following directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions:
- Graduate Application
- Application fee
- An official transcript from the applicant's undergraduate degree granting institution
For a single field certification (e.g. History), you need at least 24 hours of the teaching field coursework with at least a 2.5 grade point average in the 24 hours. Twelve of the 24 Hours must be 300 or 400 level courses.
For the Science Composite, you need coursework from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Geology. At least 16 hours of the 52 hours must be from one of the sciences, and 12 hours of the 16 hours must be 300 or 400 level courses. You need at least a 2.5 grade point average in the 52 hours.
For a composite certification, a transcript evaluation is very important.
