Post-Baccalaureate Program for Teacher Certification
Teacher Development Center: Persons who already have baccalaureate degrees may seek teacher certification in all fields. They should consult with an advisor in the Teacher Development Center to develop a certification plan after they have been admitted to the university through the School of Interdisciplinary Studies as a post-baccalaureate student. Post-baccalaureate students must meet the 24 semester hours requirement in the appropriate teaching field. A certification plan will be developed based on an evaluation of the student's transcript. Post-baccalaureate students must demonstrate computer literacy, effective public speaking, and complete 12 semester hours of English. All students must fulfill the UT Dallas requirements for student teaching or supervised internship.
