Please contact educatorprep@lamar.edu for an appointment. If you have a concern or question about whether or not you have met a particular requirement, or if any, exceptions might be approved, request an appointment with the Coordinator of Admissions for Teacher Education (409-880-7972) or call the Academic Advisor for Educator Preparation (409-880-8434) as soon as possible.
