Three Classical Education Graduate Program Tracks:
Alternative Teacher Certification is for those who have previously earned their undergraduate or higher degree and who aspire earn to teacher certification. The following levels are available:
With the University of Dallas Catholic Teacher Certificate, you will meet all of the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department pedagogy requirements for teaching in Texas Catholic schools. The program is comprised of 18 credit hours and offers emphases in elementary or secondary education.
The University of Dallas Master of Catholic School Leadership is designed to prepare you for leadership in Catholic education. Whether seeking to be a principal, president or administrator at the elementary, secondary or diocesan levels, you will deepen your knowledge of the Catholic tradition and gain practical, experience-based skills for leadership through the Master of Catholic School Leadership.
The University of Dallas offers master's degrees in a variety of liberal arts disciplines which can help equip previously certified teachers with the skills and knowledge in desired subject areas including American Studies, Classics, English, Humanities, Philosophy, Politics and Theology. Each area of study is informed by a unique sense of paideia, the education of the soul (by which the Greeks meant the basic self).
The University of Dallas holds Advanced Placement Summer Institutes for teachers during one week in the summer. The courses offered vary each summer.
Often the question isn't “Why should I study a classical language?” but “When can I find the time?” Since 1976 the University of Dallas Summer Program has provided the opportunity to study Greek and Latin outside the limits of the regular academic year.
Within the Interdisciplinary Studies major, seven areas of emphasis are offered. The areas correspond with certificaiton frameworks in the State of Texas. Areas of emphasis include:
The education concentration is designed to offer students, both Education majors and those majoring in other areas, who are interested in teaching, opportunities to gain foundational knowledge, methodology, and practical experience in the field of education. Education majors, as well as students majoring in subjects other than education are welcome to add the education concentration to their plan of study.
There is no state certification in the area of theology, however, the Department of Education works with theology majors to prepare them for teaching positions in Catholic Schools. Each diocese/school determines the qualifications required to teach theology. Students must review specific diocesan requirements to insure compliance.
Undergraduate students can be prepared for teacher certification in the following areas through our programs:
The Master of Arts in Teaching focuses on the advancement of teaching as a career and is exlusively designed to offer current UD undergraduate students the opportunity to earn their master's degree in five years, in conjunction with their baccalaureate studies. The 4+1 M.A.T. offers education majors as well as students majoring in subjects other than education, the opportunity to earn a Master's degree with Texas teacher certification.
