If you like working with young people, and if you think you would enjoy teaching, you can become certified to teach in New Mexico while you complete your degree at New Mexico Tech. Advance planning is essential to completing both your degree and your certification in time for graduation. Education is not a major at Tech.
Tech offers to become certified to teach in their field.
Be aware that some courses that the state requires for teachers, like American history, Western civilization, and fine arts, can also be used to fill Tech's general requirements. If you plan ahead, you can use the same courses to fill both. As soon as you think you want to become certified to teach, you should contact the chair of the Education Program at Tech, Dr. Robert Cormack, professor of psychology.
