The BSIS degree with 4-8 certification offers two options: UTeach Mathematics and UTeach Science.

UTEACH Mathematics and Science 4-8 Certification

The School of Education at UT Tyler participates in UTeach, an innovative teacher preparation program offered by the College of Arts and Sciences and The College of Education and Psychology that enables students to prepare for certification to teach mathematics or science in middle grades or high school.

The UTeach program invites students to explore their interest in teaching as early as the freshman year under the mentorship of secondary school mathematics and science teachers. Early involvement in the UTeach program is a quick and efficient way for students to learn whether they are suited for the teaching profession. However, students may apply at any time during their undergraduate careers. Applicants must meet minimum grade point average requirements.

UTeach prepares the student for certification in mathematics or science for grades 4-8 as the primary teaching field. More information is available from individual departments, or from the School of Education advising office. In order to be eligible for a recommendation of 4-8 teacher certification, candidates must pass required TExES examinations in addition to successfully completing the requirements for the BSIS degree and student teaching.
