Education Program Admission<\/h1>
\n

WSU has a competitive two-tier admissions process for Teacher Education Programs.<\/p>\n

After being accepted to WSU, both undergraduate and graduate students must then apply to their specific academic programs.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n

\n
\n \n\n

If you\u2019ve decided to make your career in education, it\u2019s best to prepare early for the admissions process into Teacher Education Programs.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\n
First Year Students<\/div>\n

The Professional Education sequence takes 4-5 semesters to complete, so it is best to apply as soon as you are eligible. <\/p>\n

This will make it easier when registering for courses and help you to graduate in fewer semesters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
Transfer Students<\/div>\n

Once you are admitted to WSU, you need to apply to the Teacher Education Program. <\/p>\n

All your transfer credits must have been accepted by WSU and be designated on your Degree Audit (DARS) to be considered for Teacher Education Admissions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
Graduate Students<\/div>\n

Once you are admitted to WSU Graduate Studies, you will also apply for candidacy to the academic program. <\/p>\n

Each program has varying requirements. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Professional Education Unit Handbook<\/a> (PDF) is the main resource for information about earning your teaching degree, including program admission, clinical experience, student teaching, licensure, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n
