Post Baccalaureate Certification Program The Post-Baccalaureate teacher certification program is designed to allow individuals to gain initial certification by completing content *(teaching subject) and professional education coursework requirements similar to the traditional undergraduate program. Post baccalaureate students are required to meet all Teacher Education Program (TEP) admission standards as defined in the WTAMU catalog with the exception that professional development coursework is to be completed at the graduate level. Through the Post-Baccalaureate Program, candidates may pursue certification at one of the following levels: - Elementary: early childhood through grade 4 (three options)
- Middle School: grades 4-8 (subject areas)
- High School: grades 8-12 (subject areas)
- All-level: early childhood through grade 12 (subject areas and special education)
- The application period is open; however, it is recommended that applicants allow 2-3 weeks for processing of University admission and the post-bacc teacher certification plan.
- NOTICE - The Post-Bacc application packet and information will be updated to reflect the new EC-6 certifications options after Nov 1st.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
*Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT) Significant changes to Texas Administrative Code were approved by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC). The new rule allows degreed individuals who have not been enrolled in an Educator Preparation Program (EPP) to take Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT) to demonstrate content proficiency for possible admission into an EPP. More info. - A successful passing score on a certification exam does not excuse the student from the professional education courseswork to be completed with an EPP, and the student is still required to meet program requirements.
