Program Description

A required small-plan major for students seeking a Washington State teacher license in subject areas like Art, English, Family and Consumer Sciences, History/Social Studies, Music, Physical Education, and World Languages.

We offer a robust and rigorous curriculum in supportive and academically rich environments. Coursework maximizes active, authentic, hands-on learning while seamlessly blending pedagogy and practice. High standards are set and manifest in observable ways, such as: (a) the integration of authentic materials and technology, (b) best practices in pedagogy and assessment, (c) the blending of standards-based instruction and creative expression, and (d) the accentuation of a positive classroom

Likely Career Paths

This program is appropriate for any aspiring teachers except those doing exclusively Elementary Education, Math Secondary Education, and Science Secondary Education.

Key Considerations

• Cost: University-wide costs (Visit the CWU Financial Aid site for more information); state-mandated testing and fingerprinting fees, which are not set by CWU but that typically run $200-500 (at time of publication).
• Location: Ellensburg
• Primary contacts: Ellensburg: CSEL@cwu.edu

Advising Notes

• All major courses must have a grade of C or higher for major and certification requirements.
• Any Washington state DTA (Direct Transfer Agreement) degree will satisfy all general education requirements, but may not meet the Teacher Certification Program course prerequisite requirements. Requirements can be found at Teacher Certification Program Admission.
• Major requirements may change over time; students will be expected to meet the catalog requirements in place at the time they are admitted to the major. Furthermore, state teaching requirements sometimes change irrespective of catalog year, so students are advised to maintain regular contact with their advisor while at CWU.
• There is a state-mandated test, required for full-admission (WEST-B, SAT or ACT). Contact teachercertification@cwu.edu for more information.
