Texas State University is one of the best universities in the nation to prepare for a career as a physics teacher.
Our successful program has two main pillars:
If you have not yet earned a bachelor’s degree, you may opt to enroll in the Physics Bachelor’s Degree with Teacher Certification. Alternatively, you can complete the standard Physics Bachelor’s Degree and then enroll in one of our post-baccalaureate programs.
If you have already completed your bachelor’s degree or wish to earn your teaching credentials after earning your bachelor’s degree, you have four options.
This four-year program involves simultaneously earning bachelor’s degrees in both physics and education. You will earn the 7-12 Physics/Math certification.
Earn a $10,000 scholarship for committing to teach for 2 years.
Every future physics teacher is individually mentored by expert faculty over several years, from their first physics courses through graduation, student teaching, job hunting, and the adjustment to their first classrooms. We aim to form life-long relationships with future colleagues in physics education!
This accelerated program allows you to earn your certification after only two full-time semesters and complete your master’s degree while teaching full time. You must be able to make a daytime commitment from the beginning of the program.
