                                                                            What is UTeachTech​?
Louisiana Tech University no longer offers undergraduate degrees in Secondary Math or Science Education.  Instead, undergraduate students wishing to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects in middle or high school major in a STEM content field (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Engineering) and minor in Secondary Education.  This is UTeachTech.  UTeachTech provides students with more skills and more potential career paths than a STEM degree or an education degree alone would provide.
​
