Follow the links below to find schools offering different types of teacher education programs in Oklahoma. If you are trying to become a teacher, and you plan on working in Oklahoma, you should definitely take a look at the Department of Education’s website (links at the top of this page). The individual states make a lot of their own decisions about how teachers need to be prepared, which degree programs are "approved", etc.
Also, as a rule, you should contact multiple schools if you are seriously considering going back for a degree or certificate in education. There can sometimes be very significant differences in tuition, admissions requirements, and so on, even between schools that you might think are very similar. So, it’s always a good idea to contact a number of schools and do a little comparison shopping.
