TE+ Program

Teacher Education- PLUS (TE+)

Your degree and get certified for teaching.

TE+ Details

Are you interested in becoming a teacher? If so, we encourage you to consider a TE+ Certification with the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education (JRCoE). Students majoring in a teachable subject area with the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences or the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication are eligible to apply and can receive up to $65,000 in scholarships and incentives.

Students pursuing teacher certification with the JRCoE will earn a degree in their respective major area while simultaneously completing up to 38 hours of Education coursework (think of this as adding a minor) leading to a traditional secondary (6-12th grade) certification in the state of Oklahoma.

The JRCoE is nationally accredited through the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), which means students who graduate with a recommendation from our college are eligible to teach anywhere in the United States, its territories, or the world.

Contact the Undergraduate Advising Office at jrcoe.advising@ou.edu or (405) 325-2238 to get started.
