Education Teaching

Overview

Key Facts 

Our MA in Education Teaching from University of the Pacific allows students to obtain a master's and credential in just twelve months by offering classes during our summer sessions. Candidates take summer courses at the beginning of their program, to become eligible for a paid teaching internship, as the teacher of record in the fall. During fall and spring semesters, they are enrolled in night classes that are two to three nights per week. The following summer, candidates enroll in five more weeks of summer courses completing their 12-month program. We also provide the option of completing the program over two years.

Our courses are designed to be hands-on, interactive and to address the real-world needs of students in our local K-12 schools. Throughout the program, candidates learn and apply behavioral and classroom management strategies, academic and pedagogy approaches, and varied supports for diverse learners pertinent to their continuous experiential learning in the field as an educator.
