Welcome!
The Secondary Education program is designed for students who want to become teachers at the middle or high school level. The program leads to a recommendation to the State of Washington for a teaching certificate with an endorsement in at least one subject area. Early advising is encouraged to ensure your eligibility to apply- contact Woodring Advising at WCE.Advising@wwu.edu.
We are not an academic major. Rather, applicants declare a major or have academic preparation to teach in a specific content area by meeting the requirements in their endorsement ("content area", "academic subject", "major", and "endorsement" are often synonymous with the middle/high school classroom subject).
Secondary Education offers two teacher preparation programs with a carefully sequenced curriculum to provide professional, comprehensive, learning and field-focused experiences. To learn about the core values that guide our program, see the department's Guiding Principles.
