Bilingual Teacher Pathway (BTP) Program

The Graduate School of Education offers a preparation program for bilingual/bicultural employees in partner school districts seeking initial teacher licensure at the elementary level. In addition, the ESOL/Bilingual Endorsement is included as part of the program. The BTP core consists of 44-46 credits and the ESOL endorsement is 22 credit hours. Required prerequisite classes should be completed prior to admission into the BTP program. Students may apply at the undergraduate (135 credits/senior status) or graduate level. BTP is a part-time program offering evening and weekend classes. For more information and school district partners, please see the BTP site at www.pdx.edu/ci/btp.
