Programs Offered

 The Secondary Education Department offers two programs for those wishing to teach middle and /or high school along with an off-campus Master's Program and a Middle Level Humanities Endorsement in addition to the already-long list of possible endorsement areas one may major in. 

Undergraduate (UG)

for candidates who desire to begin their teacher education program while completing their approved academic endorsable major or those pursuing a BAE degree.

Post-Baccalaureate Program (PB)

for candidates returning to become a teacher or those who desire to begin their teacher education program after completing an approved BA/BS academic endorsable major.

Master in Teaching (MIT)

for candidates returning to become a teacher or those who desire to begin their teacher education program after completing an approved BA/BS academic endorsable major and who desire a Master's Degree.  Offered in Bellingham or at our Everett site.

 

Middle Level Humanities Endorsement

Must be accompanied by the professional preparation program in secondary education, and preparation for an English Language Arts or Social Studies endorsement.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Candidates who successfully complete Secondary Education programs are recommended to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for residency teacher certification in the state of Washington.  The curriculum is a carefully sequenced professional, comprehensive program with a learning and field-focused experience.

Secondary Education faculty are student-centered and committed to providing accurate and up-to-date information and advice to current and prospective students. The route to certification may be more complex than for other university programs because candidates must meet requirements for:

1. Academic (major endorsements) departments;
2. Secondary Education, and
3. Residency Certification
