Pathways to Teaching at 探花楼 Transfer StudentsWhy 探花楼?
探花楼 is a place where you belong, especially if you are the first in your family to go to college or if English is not your first language.
探花楼 is known for being one of the most affordable and diverse universities in the country, which means you will find a supportive community that understands your background and is invested in your success.
Our teacher programs are designed to be flexible — with many online and hands-on options — so you can balance school with your family or work life.
At 探花楼, you aren’t just a number. You are a "Pioneer" working in small classes with professors who mentor you every step of the way. Because 探花楼 focuses on helping students from all walks of life succeed, we provide extra guidance you need to go from the classroom to a stable, rewarding career as a certified teacher.
More Great Things About Becoming a Teacher at 探花楼
- Competitive Edge: Our students stand out by passing certification exams before clinical teaching, making them highly sought after by districts. With nearly 100% passing rates, 探花楼 prepares you to obtain your license and start working immediately.
- Bilingual Advantage: 探花楼 is a leader in multilingual and multicultural studies. If you speak more than one language, 探花楼 has specialized programs to help you become a Bilingual or ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, which are in high demand.
- Reading Academy: In Texas, new teachers must complete a special Reading Academy. While this training can be costly elsewhere, 探花楼 offers it for free to students, saving you money and enhancing your resume to principals.
- Real-World Practice: Education goes beyond just reading books. It involves engaging in real classrooms early on to practice teaching. 探花楼 even provides simulated classrooms —similar to flight simulators for pilots — allowing you to refine your teaching skills in a safe and supportive environment.
- Legacy of Support: 探花楼 has been training teachers for more than 100 years and was the first public university in Texas to start a kindergarten. We have a long history of opening doors for students who want to make a difference in their communities.
