Special Message

The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) is a Carnegie Doctoral I institution with a nationwide reputation for the design and delivery of Web-based classes. High-quality courses and programs and first-rate student support services result in high levels of satisfaction among UTA's distance learners.

UTA provides both certificate and degree programs through the University of Texas System TeleCampus. Programs include the award-winning MBA Online, Master's of Public Administration, and a bachelor's completion degree in criminology and criminal justice.

For educators, UTA offers the unique opportunity to complete graduate course work in reading, which leads to the English as a Second Language (ESL) Endorsement granted through the state of Texas. This endorsement prepares teachers to teach children from all cultural and language backgrounds and is required for those in the state of Texas who are working with students in grades K–12 whose first language is not English.

UTA also offers an online Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction in which the course work has the added benefit of preparatory work for certificates granted through the state of Texas, including the Reading Specialist Certificate, the Master Reading Teacher Certificate, and the ESL Endorsement. Transition to Teaching is another special online program offered to graduates seeking teacher certification for secondary education in Texas.
