Interdisciplinary Studies
IDS is an EC-6 teaching program resulting in certification for pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. A student following this course of study will take the general education core, the Interdisciplinary Studies major, specialization coursework in reading and special education, pre-professional courses, and the professional development sequence. Students completing the IDS major will also meet the requirements for minors in reading and special education. Upon successful completion of both the program and applicable TExES examinations, the student will be eligible to apply for state certification to teach self-contained EC-sixth grade classes.
The University of the Incarnate Word offers programs approved by the State Board for Educator Certification and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and UIW is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
