• Physics BS with Mathematics minor
• Psychology BA with Biology minor

UTeach Arlington’s programs leading to Texas educator certification through Region XI are designed to meet requirements in the state of Texas. Some of these programs may lead to certification in other states as well, however, some locations may not allow UTeach Arlington programs to lead to certification and others may have additional requirements that are not met by the UTeach Arlington programs. If seeking certification outside of Texas, please work with your state agency in the state in which you are seeking certification to verify this information, determine eligibility, and complete any additional requirements. UTeach Arlington cannot recommend out-of-state students for certification and cannot recommend out-of-state students to take Texas certification exam(s). Additionally, UTeach Arlington faculty and staff cannot complete out-of-state form requests for individuals seeking certification, licensure, and/or endorsements in another state.
