Overview

In only one year with the Teaching & Teacher Education master's program, you will cover the coursework required for an Arizona secondary teaching certificate (grades 6-12) and gain a full year of classroom teaching experience. You will begin classes in the summer, complete the coursework as a cohort with support from faculty, and graduate the following May. The program includes a half-day teaching internship, with university courses offered in the afternoons and on weekends. This approach allows you to immediately apply the strategies you learn. Additionally, you will specialize in a content area: math, science, English, social studies or world languages.
