Address a Teacher Shortage Area and Expand Your Marketability

Most of these students are from Spanish-speaking backgrounds. In addition, the U.S. Department of Education identifies bilingual educators as "high demand" professionals in Texas.

You can be confident that you will help meet this demand, as graduates of UHCL's College of Education have nearly a 100 percent placement rate.
