At UTRGV, you will learn to teach physics through the nationally recognized UTeach model. UTRGV UTeach is the secondary teacher preparation program for science and mathematics majors at UTRGV. There is a critical need for highly qualified mathematics and science teachers in the lower Rio Grande Valley, across the state, and nationwide in the USA.
UTeach integrates a rigorous physics major, research experience, acquisition of effective teaching techniques, field teaching experiences, and teacher certification with a four-year program. Earn the Physics/Mathematics 7-12 certification while earning a B.S. in Physics. Learn more about the physics department.
Future STEM teachers at UTRGV are eligible to apply for the Noyce Scholarship program. Noyce scholars will earn their STEM degree plus teaching certification for free. Scholarship support includes tuition/fees, room/board, books/supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses. You will have the opportunity to travel to science education conferences and complete paid summer internships. Scholars are issued a laptop for educational and teaching purposes.
