 Saint
Martin's education program insures all students have knowledge in the
liberal arts. During the professional sequence, students gain
knowledge and skills essential to effective teaching and participate in
varied field experiences in school classrooms. University faculty,
as well as local school district teachers and administrators,
participate in the program and contribute to its quality and relevance.
The education program is
approved by the Washington State Board of Education. Students
completing the elementary, secondary or special education programs are
eligible for state certification. The Washington Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction sometimes makes changes in
certificate requirements outlined in the University's undergraduate
catalog.

courses, students planning to enter the program must consult an advisor
from the college of education prior to taking courses at the
University. TEAC Statement of
