Welcome to Chicago UTEP

Welcome to the University of Chicago’s Urban Teacher Education Program (Chicago UTEP). Our selective two-year program prepares students to become successful teachers—and eventually teacher leaders—in urban elementary schools and high schools, with a particular emphasis on Chicago. UTEP recruits and prepares individuals with a commitment to social justice; who are specifically interested in teaching in challenging urban schools. Students completing the program receive a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree and an Illinois Teaching Certificate for elementary grades (grades K-9) or a teaching certificate and endorsement to teach in high school mathematics or biology (grades 6-12). Candidates are recruited both from within and outside of the University of Chicago.
