The Master in Teaching (MIT) program prepares post-baccalaureate candidates with strong academic credentials who seek the first level of teacher certification and who demonstrate a high aptitude for scholarship and teaching at the elementary and secondary levels. Candidates will earn the Washington State Residency Teaching Certificate and the Master in Teaching Degree simultaneously.

Post-graduate students commit to a three semester learning experience: fall, spring, and summer terms, in order to earn 30 credits for the MIT degree. The credit requirements include student teaching (8 credits) plus graduate level coursework (22 credits). Classes meet in the evenings, on weekends, and during the summer months for cohorts commencing their programs in August. Student teaching will be accomplished during daytime hours.
