The number of hours varies depending on which teaching area you choose and which requirements can be covered by courses from your prior transcripts.
This program includes one semester of full-time student teaching.
If you are seriously interested in pursuing a career in teaching, please make an appointment with the Office of Graduate Studies by calling 731-352-4023 or by sending an e-mail to
