Your commitment to equity and inclusion is fostered into holistic growth, and when you finish your degree, you’re prepared to help students learn for a rapidly evolving world. 

Discover the Convenience of a Hybrid Education Degree 

When you pursue a graduate degree in transformational teaching and learning at Seattle University, you’ll discover a degree set up for your success. The program begins in mid-August, with five days of in-person classes before moving to a hybrid schedule for the rest of the fall quarter. Core courses are conducted asynchronously online with monthly in-person half-day Saturday sessions on campus every quarter.  

In the first year, you’ll engage in 20 hours of in-person community-based experiences that may be conducted where you currently reside. You’ll also get to connect with a mentor teacher in the spring quarter in your local area and spend three days with that teacher at their school.  

During your second year, you’ll be working full time in a mentor teacher’s classroom. Upon graduation, you will receive a Master of Education and a Washington State Residency Teaching Certificate.
