Overview

From traditional teaching roles to roles in international and nonprofit organizations, the possibilities are endless. Aspiring educators study the liberal arts, Bible and theology, educational foundations, learning theory, human psychology, intercultural communications, and instructional design.

There are several field experience opportunities for students to practice and demonstrate their skills in settings conducive to their degree and career path (e.g. businesses and non-profit organizations).

The Educational Studies from Northwest University is the only Northwest University programme that leads to Washington State Teacher Certification. Northwest undergraduates can apply up to ten credits to their NU Master in Teaching (MIT) degree – a significant financial and time savings. Contact your advisor to learn more about this pathway.
