Whitlowe R. Green College of Education
The Whitlowe R. Green College of Education has a legacy of producing some of the nation’s most distinguished teachers, counselors, principals, diagnosticians and superintendents. Our undergraduate teacher education programs prepare candidates for positions in public and private schools as well as in other institutional or organizational settings that promote the educational development and well-being of culturally diverse children and youth. We have established courses and programs that reach into the community and make a difference while simultaneously increasing the number of graduate students in our college.
The 11 universities of the A&M System produce more fully certified teachers than any other university system in Texas, and have the highest number of teachers remaining in the profession for the first 5 years of their career.
Educator Preparation Program
The Whitlowe R. Green College of Education Educator Preparation Program and Services is designed to offer training, support, and field experiences to prospective candidates interested in pursuing a variety of initial teacher certifications and/or professional level certifications. All candidates are provided opportunities for learning, study, professional growth, research, and collaboration with local school districts and professional organizations. Candidates may seek initial teacher certification through our traditional undergraduate program, or through the Alternative Teacher Certification Program. Professional certifications are offered for masters level candidates who meet admission requirements for the educational diagnostician, school counselor, principal, or superintendent programs. We strive to produce educators and administrators who will have a positive impact on diverse student populations, schools, families, and the community.
