Overview

Key Features

If you have already graduated with your bachelor's degree, you can still pursue initial teacher certification. You can take a teacher certification plan as a stand-alone program or as part of a master's degree (master's degree + certification). The Teacher Certification (Stand-alone) program is offered by Texas State University.

Once your teacher certification application is complete, it will be reviewed by the Office of Educator Preparation (OEP). If admitted, you must submit a second application to the Educator Preparation Program (EPP).
