The Prairie View A&M University Alternate Teacher Certification Program is currently accepting applications from qualified individuals who are interested in choosing teaching as a career.
Career-changers and new college graduates can now take advantage of an "Express Route" to acquiring teacher certification in the state of Texas.
At the conclusion of one academic year of internship, applicants become eligible for recommendation for certification upon completion of all program requirements, including required course work and passing scores on the state teacher examinations. During the internship year, applicants are also eligible for employment as full-time teachers in cooperating school districts. The ATCP "Express Route" to teacher certification enhances the current certification program in that it now allows qualified applicants to take content area examinations upon entry into the program, which facilitates employment opportunities.
To enter PVAMU's ATCP "Express Route to Certification," interested applicants must:
(1) Have at least a bachelor's degree in any field with an overall GPA of 2.5, (2) Pass the state THEA Test, (3) Meet individual interview requirements.
For more information, including making an appointment for a transcript analysis, application packets, and program costs and deadlines, please contact the ATCP Office at 936-857-2257. The ATCP Office is located on campus in the Delco Building, Room 120. The Director of the Program is Dr. William H. Parker.
