Mestrado em Ensino (MIT)

The Master in Teaching (MIT) program is a full-time, cohort-based degree program in teacher education. Our MIT program offers you both a Master’s Degree in teaching and a Residency Teaching Certificate, all designed to be completed in four academic quarters. As a student in our program, you will specialize in either elementary or secondary education and get extensive classroom experience working with students. With almost 50% of your time spent in classrooms, you will learn and practice teaching from experienced, master teachers in schools. By attending only two additional quarters, you may also earn a Special Education endorsement—a credential that is in high demand.

Known for their commitment to social justice and personal attention, our faculty work closely with each MIT student and place an emphasis on developing a community of learners through the cohort model. The program curriculum is integrated in a coherent sequence of courses and a practicum, guided by a clearly articulated conceptual framework. The faculty are nationally recognized in their fields and, perhaps more importantly, recognized by classroom teachers for their contributions.

More than ever, our world requires courageous and skilled leaders who reflect the diversity of our society and help spearhead systematic change as well as inspire future generations. Earn your degree, certification or endorsement at Seattle University and join a dynamic and driven community of educational leaders who partner with local and global communities for positive innovation and impact.

Our programs are highly ranked and ground you in both a strong academic foundation and necessary practical experiences you will need to succeed. Our range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional and continuing educational opportunities give you the chance to connect with peers and faculty mentors who can help you carve the path to a lifelong career in education.
