Build on the Skills and Experiences You Have
Many of your skills from your previous career are transferrable and will greatly enhance your ability to communicate with students and parents and manage your classroom. Through UHCL's College of Education, you'll take academic specialization courses like Shakespeare and children's literature as well as core education courses that cover topics like instructional technologies and social studies, science, and math methods.

Although it is not necessary for students holding at least a bachelor's degree and seeking initial teacher certification to pursue a second bachelor's degree, those who wish to do so must meet the university's lower-level requirements in addition to the requirements for both teacher certification and the second degree, unless such requirements were met through the completion of the first bachelor's degree. These lower-level requirements are described in the Core section of the catalog.Request InfoHow to ApplyVisit
