Post-baccalaureate
teacher certification
Students who have earned a non-education bachelor's degree and are seeking teacher certification may follow one of two paths to their goal. Washington State University offers a Masters in Teaching (MIT) program in elementary and secondary teacher education/ certification.
First path
Students interested in the elementary education and certification path must meet pre-requisite requirements before starting the MIT program. Those students interested in pursuing the secondary certification plan must meet all subject/content area endorsement requirements before beginning their program.
Students applying to a graduate program at Washington State University must have a 3.0 grade point average or higher in their last 60 hours of undergraduate course work in order to be accepted to the graduate school. Please contact the College of Education’s Office of Graduate Studies for more information.
Second path
The other path leading to certification is through following the undergraduate program. Students desiring to complete this path must meet the undergraduate admission requirements for the College of Education. The length of this program will vary depending upon the desired endorsement. For more information, please contact beateacher@wsu.edu.
