The BAHT and
Master in Teaching Degrees

The BAHT is not, in itself, a teacher certification program. Seattle University's College of Education and Matteo Ricci College work together to offer the BAHT as the strongest possible training for students who will go on to seek their certification through a master’s degree in teaching (MIT) or its equivalent.

BAHT students can earn guaranteed provisional deferred admission to Seattle University's highly selective MIT program during their junior year. Places are reserved for qualified BAHT candidates.

Students with such preparation (e.g., BAHT & MIT) normally are paid approximately $5,000 more per year for the first ten to fifteen years of their careers; $5,000 more, that is, than teachers who enter the profession with only a bachelor’s degree.
