It is the mission of the University of Houston-Clear Lake's School of Education to prepare outstanding
educators who inspire and positively shape future generations. Thus, we take great pride in being
recognized for our standards of excellence by the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities as recipient of the Christa McAuliffe Award for Excellence in Teacher Education.
At UHCL, you will be learning from recognized experts. Our focus is giving serious students like you
the
skills you need to launch successful careers. We produce graduates who possess a unique blend
of exceptional knowledge and real-world experience.
It's this hands-on experience that really sets UHCL apart. Our hallmark, two-semester internship program
puts you into our local schools – in some of the best school districts in Texas – to learn every aspect of the profession from outstanding educators.
Our nationally accredited programs feature curricula designed to give you an advantage. What makes our curriculum so special? UHCL is an innovative, partnership-oriented institution. We created a Professional
Development Laboratory School with a local school district to conduct research and test new techniques. You won't find a university more engaged in professional development.
Welcome to UHCL. I am sure you will enjoy our beautiful campus as you work with our exceptional,
dedicated faculty and staff. I wish you all the best in your studies.
