Program Info

The mission of Texas A&M University’s Teacher Education Program is to develop exemplary educators who engage in student-centered teaching practices, ethical behaviors, and the continuous study of learning and teaching. Texas A&M University – Commerce offers many educator preparation pathways: 1. TAMUC’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers both the Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies and Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degrees. 2. TAMUC also offers a Field-Based Teacher Education Program, a certification program that strives to create high quality teachers who have the knowledge and skills to educate PreK-12 students, and who also will remain in the profession for many years. The certification program is offered through the Northeast Texas Center for Professional Development and Teaching (NET CPDT), a collaborative partnership composed of TAMUC and approximately 40 public school partner districts committed to the improvement of teaching and learning. 3. Additionally, in partnership with Mesquite ISD, Dallas ISD and Dallas Teacher Residency, students who have bachelor’s degrees but lack teacher certification can receive a Master of Education in the Art of Teaching degree and a teaching certificate in 18 months.
