The following is a list of coursework required as prerequisites for UW Seattle Master in Teaching Secondary Teacher Education Program candidates who wish to earn a History Endorsement upon completion of the MIT. History pedagogy will be covered in the College of Education programming. For more information, or to arrange a transcript review in advance of your application deadline, please visit Department of History Advising. Transcripts, course descriptions and syllabi may all be required for a complete transcript review. The transcript evaluation process can take some time, so please email unofficial transcripts and other course information to histadv@uw.edu no later than two weeks before the application deadline.
In order for a course to count toward these prerequisite requirements, a grade of 2.5 or its equivalent must be recorded.
Please note: Undergraduates at the University of Washington who began their endorsement prerequisite coursework prior to Winter 2018 may use the "old" (pre-2018) guidelines instead of these. This policy is in recognition of work they may have already done according to old guidelines; no other candidates may use old endorsement guidelines.
