Put your Passion for Language and Reading to Work for Children

Good reading, writing and comprehension skills are the foundations for students' overall success. UHCL's College of Education offers courses that focus on the principles of composition, reading in content subjects, and the literature of adolescence. You'll help students build their writing and comprehension proficiency and become overall better communicators. These are critical skills that are transferrable to any ultimate career path and will ensure student' progress through high school graduation 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.
