Eastern Washington University’s Master in Teaching (MIT) is a graduate degree program designed for individuals planning a career change into the field of teaching. The secondary major program, accredited by the State of Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), offers you the opportunity to acquire a:
State of Washington secondary teaching certificate in grades 5-12
Master of Education (MEd) degree in secondary teaching
The MIT program is rigorous and full-time, blending an incremental field experience throughout a full-year internship in a classroom, accompanying day and evening classes. Coursework will be linked to classroom experience and will meet statewide certification requirements for teachers. This 5-quarter program also follows a cohort model — each cohort begins in summer and concludes the certification stage at the end of the following summer quarter. The MEd degree will be granted after completion of the next stage of the program, which requires additional coursework and a final orals defense.
Endorsements are included in this program. Endorsements are included in a teacher’s licensure to denote which subjects and grade levels they are qualified to teach. If you plan to pursue an endorsement, it is recommended that you complete the associated coursework before beginning the MIT program.
Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited university, or evidence of achieving the degree at the end of spring semester or quarter before officially starting the MIT program in summer.
For MIT-Secondary Applicants: Before submitting the applications, the applicants must contact the MIT Director or Coordinator to have their undergraduate (and/or graduate, if applicable) transcripts evaluated.
The partner departments in the endorsement content areas will do the actual evaluation and provide a prescription of courses to take as MIT prerequisites. A faculty-signed document specifying the plan is to be uploaded as part of the application.
Every MIT-Secondary applicant is expected to complete the prescribed courses before the MIT program starts in the summer. If the plan indicates more than two courses to take before the program officially starts in the summer, the application may be reviewed with great concerns and the applicants may be advised to reapply for the next cohort cycle. Two courses are considered to be the maximum number that the MIT candidate’s core curriculum study is not affected.
Those who are advised to delay their applications to the next cycle are welcome to maintain communication about their eligibility for application and admission.
Note: This program does not require fingerprinting for application or admission reviews. But if you are admitted, fingerprinting will be required for teaching placement in schools. If you have concerns about eligibility, please consult the MIT Director or Coordinator before submitting the application.
