Overview

Texas State University’s specialized concentration, referred to as the Teacher Recruitment Program (TRP), began in 2001 as an ideal entry for second-career considerations. Students on this Secondary Education (Teacher Recruitment Program) program from Texas State University may receive their certification after two semesters of field-based and academic course work and complete their master’s degree while earning a teacher’s salary.

Program Mission

Since its foundation as a normal school in 1899, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction has been an integral part of Texas State University, serving the state’s need for trained public school teachers. Over the years, the programs have prepared knowledgeable and effective teachers who are responsive to the varying needs of society. The department has forged strong working partnerships with many Central Texas school districts, providing a diverse landscape for fieldwork and potential employment opportunities. Between the strenuous curriculum and invaluable field experience, the department has grown to become one of the largest nationwide, offering a variety of comprehensive programs.

Career Options

The majority of the students remain in the Central Texas area, teaching in public and private schools. Graduates are also qualified to become instructional coaches, education consultants, curriculum coordinators, grade level or content team leaders, directors of a department, mentor teachers, or writers of textbooks. Students are also prepared for doctoral study at Texas State or another qualified university.
