Welcome to UTeachTech!

Calling all STEM majors!  Want more options after you graduate?
​​
Consider the UTeachTech Program. 

• UTeachTech students receive a Bachelor's degree in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Engineering along with a minor in Secondary Education (6-12). 
• That means you can go directly into a STEM profession, teaching, or graduate school. 
• Honors credit is available and it’s a great way to increase your career options while developing highly marketable skills, including communication, collaboration, and leadership, that are crucial in any job. 
• If you want to give the program a try, the first two courses, UTCH 101/STEP 1: Inquiry Approaches to Teaching and UTCH 201: Step 2/Inquiry-Based Lesson Design are FREE (tuition reimbursed) one-hour courses. They are a great way to try out the program with no obligation!

​A Talent for Teaching: UTeach Reveals a Career Pathway for STEM Majors | WorkingNation

TeachTech is a collaborative initiative of the College of Education, Louisiana Tech University College of Engineering and Science, and the College of Applied and Natural Sciences. STEM students can earn a minor in secondary education and obtain their teaching certification while working toward completion of their degree in a STEM-related field.

"Through the UTeach program, students are able to take advantage of two different paths to a career,” said Dr. Laura Bostick, associate director for UTeachTech.

​For Those Who Want to Teach: UTeach

Does UTeach train great teachers? Research says yes!  One study found that, compared to traditionally trained teachers, UTeach graduates "...produce as much as four months of additional learning in math and nearly six months of additional learning in science. For high school algebra and biology, the difference in student outcomes for UTeach and non-UTeach teachers is larger than the difference in outcomes between new teachers and what we typically see after a teacher has ten years of experience!"
