Secondary Endorsements
Students seeking an endorsement in secondary education will earn a certificate to teach fifth through twelth grades. The strongest candidates will have completed an undergraduate degree with a major in the subject area they wish to teach.
All secondary candidates must complete the endorsement coursework outlined in the endorsement verification form for their subject area. This coureswork must be completed prior to starting the MIT program.
Applicants do not need to have all of the coursework completed at the time of application. Applicants in this situation should indicate their plans for how they will complete the requirements prior to the program start date. Under special circumstances, students starting in the Spring cohort may use the summer after their first quarter to complete their prerequisites.
