Graduate Teacher Education Program

The Graduate School of Education offers two licensure programs, one in elementary and one in secondary, that also include a Master’s degree. This program is designed for students who wish to teach in public schools and is available in one-year and two-year formats. Successful completion of these programs culminates in a recommendation to Oregon’s Teacher Standards and Practices Commission for a teaching license. Specific program admission requirements and application details are available at www.pdx.edu/ci/gtep-info

The M.Ed. is earned by students who have completed PSU’s Graduate Teacher Education Program (GTEP),and Secondary Dual Educator Program (SDEP). Graduate level students in the Bilingual Teacher Pathway (BTP) Program may earn the M.Ed. with the completion of ITP 551 Research and Classroom Inquiry.
