About

What is WVUteach? 

WVUteach is designed to provide students the opportunity to explore the profession of teaching in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields in a hands-on way. In your very first semester in the program, you will have the opportunity to develop and teach a lesson in a local classroom. 

WVUteach candidates complete a 27-30 credit hour course of study that includes early and frequent classroom experiences prior to their student teaching experience. WVUteach integrates all aspects of teaching into a holistic curriculum. Instructional methods are inquiry-based with an emphasis on active student learning, integrated technology, and project-based instruction. 

Once you complete the program, you will have fulfilled the qualifications to be eligible for secondary teaching certification by the West Virginia Department of Education in tandem with your 4-year STEM degree.
