About this Program
Teaching Degree to Meet Diverse Learning Needs and Challenge the Status Quo
Seattle University's Master in Teaching (MIT) program began in 1990 and is a one-year, full-time, day-time and in-person teacher preparation program.
Upon completing the MIT program in just three quarters, you will graduate with a master’s degree in teaching and a Washington State Residency Teaching Certificate.
As a student in this master in teaching program, you will specialize in either the elementary endorsement or a subject-specific secondary endorsement.
Even more, you will be prepared to be an educator who challenges the status quo to work for social justice and compassionately and effectively meet the learning needs of all students.
Through coursework at the start of the program, you will explore major socio-cultural issues that shape the field of education.

Nationally Recognized Educators
Our faculty are nationally recognized in their fields and, perhaps more importantly, recognized by classroom teachers for their contributions. MIT faculty frequently teach in K-12 schools and collaborate with teachers on curriculum, research and scholarship.

Daniel Chavez
"By being a teacher and showing my face every day, it challenges the status quo." A Master in Teaching gave Daniel Chavez the chance to connect his talent for math with a career passion that had emerged through roles as a tutor, teaching assistant and after-school activities coordinator. Chavez appreciated the MIT program’s close bond among classmates in his cohort and contact with professors. “The professors really modeled what it was to be a good teacher,” he says.
