Degrees
Master in Teaching
M.I.T. Overview
The Master in Teaching (M.I.T.) degree is offered through the Teacher Education Program and leads to elementary or
secondary (specific subject) school teaching. Students completing the elementary program earn a Washington Residency Certificate for elementary education granted by the State of Washington. Secondary program students are endorsed by the State for specific subjects. The elementary program also has a Special Education option for those interested in teaching elementary classroom students with disabilities.
Understanding Graduate School and Teacher Education Program Minimum Requirements
Each M.I.T. student must satisfy both Graduate School and Teacher Education Program minimum requirements in order to receive the degree. It is the student’s responsibility to learn these requirements and to ensure that they are met.
The Graduate School’s minimum requirements for the master’s degree are summarized below. A complete list and explanation of the requirements can be on-line at http://www.grad.washington.edu/stsv/mastersinfo.htm.
- A minimum of 36 quarter credits of graduate course work, 18 of which must be for courses numbered 500 or higher;
- Numerical grades must be received in at least 18 quarter credits of course work taken at the UW;
- A minimum grade-point average of 3.0 is required to graduate and a minimum grade of 2.7 must be earned in all courses counting for the degree;
- No more than 6 graduate level quarter credits can be transferred from other academic institution (this applies only to the master’s degree);
- Up to 12 Graduate Non-Matriculated credit hours can apply towards master’s degree (masters students who also wish to transfer credit hours from another institution may apply any combination of GNM and up to six approved transfer credits totaling twelve credits);
- To graduate in any quarter, a student must complete all requirements for the degree by the last day of final examinations for that quarter;
- A student must be registered at the University for the quarter in which graduation requirements are met and the degree is requested.
In order to meet State of Washington requirements for teacher certification, the requirements of the Teacher Education Program are rigorous and highly structured.
Requesting a Master’s Degree from the Graduate School
Every M.I.T. student must apply for the degree on-line to the Graduate School during the anticipated quarter of graduation. Application for the master’s degree is solely the responsibility of the student. The on-line application can be found here: http://www.grad.washington.edu/stsv/mastapp.htm.
A student may submit a request from the 1st day of the quarter of expected graduation until the Sunday (midnight Pacific Time) of the seveth week of the quarter of expected graduation. If a student misses the deadline, then the student may still submit a request until the Sunday (midnight Pacific Time) of the ninth week of the quarter of expected graduation, but must pay a $250 graduate degree late fee. If degree requirements are not met in the requested quarter and/or a student neglects to pay the late fee, they must submit another degree request for the next quarter (complete information about the Graduate Degree Late Fee can be found here: http://www.grad.washington.edu/area/degreelatefee.html.
