Bastyr University's direct-entry Master of Science in Midwifery program trains students in all aspects of midwifery care, preparing them to greatly improve the quality and breadth of maternity care offered to women and their families. It is the only Master of Science in Midwifery that is both regionally accredited and MEAC-accredited and qualifies graduates to become state (or provincially) licensed and nationally certified midwives. The rigorous, proven curriculum based on the competencies established by the Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) and the combined expertise of Bastyr University and the former Seattle Midwifery School uses state-of-the-art technologies and an extensive network of clinical training sites around the globe. The program is intended for entry-level midwifery students and is three years in length (11 quarters), culminating in a Master of Science in Midwifery. Completion of the program qualifies graduates to sit for examinations to become licensed as a midwife in Washington or other states, registered in Canadian provinces, and nationally certified by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM).
