MIT Degree Requirements

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.

The Northwest University Grow-Your-Own (GYO) alternative routes program offers online academics with rich field experience. This program is run in conjunction with our GYO partner school districts and is aimed at paraeducators or those with conditional certifications employed within the partner districts.

Post-graduate students commit to a three semester learning experience, in order to earn 30 credits for the MIT degree. The credit requirements include student teaching (6 credits) plus graduate level coursework (24 credits). Classes are in an online delivery format
