Secondary Certification Programs & All-Level Specialized Certification Programs

Students seeking certification to teach at the secondary level (grades 7–12) or in an all-level (early childhood – grade 12) specialized field such as Physical Education, Spanish, Music, or Fine Arts, must obtain a bachelor’s degree in the academic area in which they plan to teach. These students should consult with their advisor in the department in which their degree is housed.

Please note that requirements for degrees and certification have been carefully coordinated between the content area departments and the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching; however, there may be specific degree requirements that are not required in the certification program and specific certification requirements that may not be required in the degree program. Certification program requirements are dictated by the Texas Education Agency and the Texas State Board of Educator Certification. Teacher candidates are encouraged to meet with their certification and disciplinary advisors often to ensure they are abreast of the most recent requirements.

Students seeking secondary certification are strongly encouraged to add the Minor in Secondary Education. Coursework in the Minor in Secondary Education is fully inclusive of the Secondary Certification Sequence of Coursework. Secondary certification includes Certification Requirements, Professional Education Coursework, and the Yearlong Clinical Teaching Residency Model and is completed in 32 credit hours. Students enrolled in UTeachSA will also qualify for the Minor in Secondary Education.

The Secondary Certification Sequence of Courses/Minor in Secondary Education is meant to be completed during the last 4 semesters of the Teacher Candidate’s degree plan. The first two semesters are considered the pre-clinical year (junior year), and the previous two semesters are considered the clinical year (senior year). The UTSA Educator Preparation Program is a TEA-approved and vetted residency program meaning that the clinical teaching experience and the last year of pedagogical coursework are completed concurrently over the course of the clinical year. Students are encouraged to meet with a certification advisor as soon as they decide to pursue teacher certification to prepare their program of study.

Students are encouraged to consult with their content area advisor as well as their certification advisors about the specific requirements for each subject area. Some content area degrees include the Secondary Teacher Certification Sequence/Minor in Secondary Education as part of their teacher certification focused Degree Concentrations. Please note that a content degree concentration may include coursework in the college of education beyond the Secondary Sequence to fulfill the concentration area. In some instances, a content area degree plan may choose not to adopt the full sequence of courses below because the degree may already contain content that would be duplicated in the certification sequence. Students are, again, highly encouraged to meet with certification and content advisors early and often.

In extenuating circumstances, students seeking 7-12 certification may petition to opt out of the Yearlong Clinical Teaching Residency, instead completing a Yearlong Professional Experience where they will complete their clinical teaching in 1 semester and enroll in CI 4613 Clinical Teaching: Early Childhood–Grade 6. This is only available for students with extreme needs and must be formally requested by submitting a letter of petition to the Director of Clinical Teaching and the Department Chair in ILT. 

All-Level (EC-12) Certification Programs

UTSA currently offers the following All-Level Specialized Certification pathways:

• EC-12 Art with a major in Art
• EC-12 Languages Other Than English. (LOTE) Spanish with a major in Spanish
• EC-12 Physical Education with a major in Kinesiology
• EC-12 Music with a major in Music and a concentration in Music Education

Interested students must consult with their academic advisor in the department that houses their content area degree to notify them of their intent to seek certification and connect them with the certification advisors. Teacher candidates seeking an All-Level Certification will complete the Certification Sequence of Courses that includes Required Certification Courses, Professional Education Coursework, and either the Yearlong Professional Experience Clinical Teaching option for 33 credit hours or the Yearlong Clinical Teaching Residency Model option for 32 credit hours. Recently, all teacher certification pathways at UTSA have been engaged in program innovation and renewal that aims to incorporate the Yearlong Clinical Teaching experience for all pathways. Some pathways are still in the process of changing, so it is important to meet with a certification advisor early and often to stay abreast of the latest developments and programs of study.

Please note that requirements for degrees and certification have been carefully coordinated between the content area departments and the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching; however, there may be specific degree requirements that are not required in the certification program and specific certification requirements that may not be required in the degree program. Certification program requirements are dictated by the Texas Education Agency and the Texas State Board of Educator Certification. Teacher candidates are encouraged to meet with their certification and disciplinary advisors often to ensure they are abreast of the most recent requirements.

Core Curriculum Requirements: Students should refer to the appropriate section of this catalog for a listing of Core Curriculum requirements for the degree they are seeking. Additionally, students must seek advising from a certification advisor toward the end of their sophomore year or as the approach being core complete to understand the certification requirements and admissions process for the Educator Preparation Program (EPP). Those who transfer to UTSA with an Associate of Arts in Teaching or similar degree must meet with the certification program advisors upon enrolling at UTSA to ensure timely completion of requirements for certification.
