Requirements for certification/licensure are determined by the Texas Education Agency, Division of Educator Certification and Standards, and subject to change without previous notification. State rules take precedence over information in this catalog.
A student may apply for graduation without completing Student Teaching. Education students who have completed all required coursework may request to graduate without certification. The student must submit a letter to the Certification Officer outlining the reason for the request. The letter should be submitted along with a completed application for student teaching/internship and all required documentation. The Teacher Education Committee (TEC) will consider the student’s request. If the request is approved by the TEC, the student will be permitted to graduate without certification. A student cannot be recommended for certification until the student teaching/internship requirement is met.
Post-Baccalaureate Internship Information for Texas Wesleyan graduates only: Education students who have graduated without certification or who have graduated with a Liberal Studies degree from Texas Wesleyan University and have completed all Education coursework may serve a one-year internship as teacher of record in a public school. Students taking this option must apply to the Post Baccalaureate Program and register for a one-year internship (EDU 4614) and be under the supervision of a Wesleyan faculty member. Students who do not complete all required education coursework prior to graduation are not eligible for the post-baccalaureate internship.
