德克萨斯州立大学圣马科斯分校

Levels of Certification: Students who wish to teach Early Childhood (EC) through Grade 6 (elementary), Grades 4-8 (middle school), or All-Level Special Education pursue the Bachelor of Science major in Interdisciplinary Studies. Students seeking 6-12, 7-12, or 8-12 (Grade Six, Seven, or Eight through Grade Twelve) certification or All-level certification in other disciplines will instead complete an academic major within their chosen teaching field in the department and college where that major is housed and should consult with advisors in that college.

Interdisciplinary Studies Majors: Students seeking this major should consult with advisors in the College of Education Undergraduate Advising Center for detailed information regarding specific degree requirements, the semester-by-semester sequence, and other requirements such as block applications. Because courses must be taken in a predetermined sequence, it is likely that students will be required to attend summer sessions in order to complete the program within a 4-year time period.
