Deliver the Language Arts Skills that are Critical to Student Success

Language arts proficiency is central to students' achieving their academic goals. At UHCL's College of Education, your coursework will cover topics that will help improve students' reading, writing, and overall communication skills. With academic specialization courses focusing on Shakespeare and the principles of composition, and core education courses that cover topics including educational psychology and instructional technologies, you'll acquire the encompassing skills that will be the foundation for your students' achievement in your classroom and beyond. 

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.
