Teaching Field Plans list the specific content classes (i.e. Biology, Mathematics, English, History etc.) students must take to get certified to teach the desired high school subject(s). Additionally, these courses help prepare students to be successful on the state of Texas certification exams. The templates below provide the required content coursework for each area of certification. For most students these courses are already a part of their degree plan; however, some of the science field plans will require additional science courses to meet the requirements for the certification. Go to the contacts tab to schedule an appointment with an aggieTEACH-Arts & Sciences advisor to see how compatible your degree is with the Content Field Plan for Teaching.
