Post-baccalaureate Programs

Deciding to go back to school is a big decision and finding the right program and format that works for you can take time (and patience) to navigate. Post-baccalaureate programs in the College of Education are designed for individuals looking to enhance the undergraduate degree they initially received, through a certification or specialized program in teaching or community-related advocacy.

Our post-baccalaureate degree options provide the opportunity for students who already have an undergraduate degree in any area to prepare for a career in or around the classroom. Post-baccalaureate students come from a variety of backgrounds, but all of them have one thing in common, they want to make a difference in equity and education.

Requirements

All students applying to one of our post-baccalaureate programs must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in the United States. If you earned a degree from outside of the United States you will need to meet with an academic advisor for information about additional requirements.

Courses taken through our post-baccalaureate programs do not lead to a degree. However, completion of the course requirements does qualify students to take the required Texas educator certification examinations administered by Pearson. Typically, more than 95% of our graduates pass the exam.
