Southern Arkansas University Tech's Teacher Education program has been providing the first two years of a public school teacher degree for over 15 years. Our Education degrees are designed to allow students ease of transfer into a teacher education baccalaureate degree program for K-6 Elementary Education, Middle School Language Arts/Social Studies, Middle School Math/Science or K-12 Special Education offered at Southern Arkansas University (SAU) or Henderson State University (HSU). Completion of this degree will also meet the educational requirements for paraprofessional positions at many Arkansas public schools.

We also now offer Teaching degrees that will provide ease of transfer to Arkansas public universities. Students will gain experience in a P-12 setting while enrolled in this program, which will feed into an approved Arkansas Educator Preparation Program (EPP). This will articulate into a baccalaureate degree. This is offered as part of the Arkansas Teacher Residency Program to address the growing need for certified teachers in the state of Arkansas. Ready to become a teacher? Both of these degree programs are provided in an online format at well!
