Overview

The BSc Education offered by Sam Houston State University prepares students for Texas Teacher Certification and work as a teacher in the classroom. Students choose their certification track based on their chosen grade level and/or the subject area they plan to teach. The accelerated advanced degree programme, 4+1, allows students to jumpstart their career by completing a master’s degree alongside their bachelor’s. In place of traditional student teaching, most students take part in our Yearlong Clinical Teaching experience. Many partner districts offer competitive paid internships that provide both mentorship and valuable classroom experience.

What do you want to teach?

We offer several certification tracks for students to choose from. Your certification track will determine your specific course of study and prepare you for certification testing at the end of your programme. Choose the age group you want to work with (PreK-3rd grade, Early childhood – 6th grade, 4th-8th grade, or high school), or choose a subject you are passionate about and select from the offered tracks. Some tracks require a double-major; others require you to major in your chosen field with teacher certification. Each programme is carefully designed to help you succeed in your own classroom.

Additional certifications can be added to your degree programme to help you reach your goals. Many school districts offer additional pay for teachers certified in high-need areas such as special education and bilingual education.
