Program Information

The Master’s in Continuing and College Education program is designed for those who desire to teach, train, and administer education programs targeted to adult populations. The Continuing and College Education curriculum prepares students for competency in the areas of instructional technology, teaching, training, curriculum development, leadership and management, project management, assessment and program planning. Graduates will work in settings such as business and industry, community/technical colleges, universities, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations.

Course work is available at the main campus in Bellingham and through distance learning courses.

The program is designed for working adults, therefore the majority of students enroll for part-time study. Completion time for the program is normally two years. All students must complete at least one field experience.

Some students may not choose to do a specialization; certificates are available in two optional areas:

❑ Community and Technical College Teaching [20 credits]
❑ Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) [26 credits]

For more information, see the Continuing and College Education website at www.wce.wwu.edu/depts/cce.

Comprehensive Assessment

Woodring College of Education students in Option II are required to complete a comprehensive assessment. The format, timeline and criteria are defined by specific departments. For procedures, students should see their graduate advisors.

Second Master’s Degree

Enrollment must be for a single MEd, MA or MIT program.

However, all programs must be completed with the minimum number of required credits.
