Make a Difference by Teaching the Future
City University of Seattle’s Bachelor of Arts in Education degree provides a route for first-time bachelor’s students to become certified teachers. You can complete the BA in education on its own or combine it with any of the following emphasis areas, some of which can be combined to create dual endorsements.
The BA Education program was created with flexibility in mind. Choose from online coursework, Saturday classes, or mixed-mode delivery to fit your classes around your schedule. Each mode of instruction will provide you with more hands-on field experience than traditional teacher certification programs, ensuring you’re better prepared for the realities of today’s classrooms. The program can be completed in two years for most students with an associate’s degree or 90 quarter credits.*
