Prospective Teachers Academy
The UCO Prospective Teachers Academy (PTA) was established to provide an opportunity for high school students interested in a career in education to learn more about college requirements, education programs at UCO, university life and the rewarding work of teaching.
PTA provides an in-depth look at the path through the teacher education program at UCO with the ultimate goal of helping incoming freshman save time, money and feel more in charge of their educational journey.
