About

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree is organized under the umbrella of the Education Program at UW Tacoma. Within that framework, prospective teachers may earn a residency certificate. Prospective principals and program administrators may also earn a residency certificate.

For practicing teachers we offer the following study options:

Student Academic & Social Success
Curriculum and Instruction
Special Education
Teaching English Language Learners (TELL)

We have a special advisory process to help teachers become highly qualified, earning new endorsements. This program allows students to embed endoresements into degree programs should they desire to do so.

As you will see, the programs vary in length, focus and requirements. Some are part-time and some are full-time. Upon acceptance, all students are assigned an adviser to find the most resonable and efficient means of reaching their desired goal.

Accreditation

The University of Washington Tacoma is accredited as a unit of the University of Washington by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.

Approved by the Professional Educators Standards Board (PESB) under the auspices of Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).
