Program Highlights
Field experiences and student teaching
You’ll take part in field experiences in elementary and secondary schools to observe current education practices and confirm that education is the right career choice for you. Then you will student teach for several months alongside a school’s teacher and a Bethel supervisor. Their coaching will help you apply coursework and theory in a classroom and move you closer to being qualified to teach in your own classroom upon program completion.
Innovative professors
While you earn your master's degree in teaching, our instructors bring excellent teaching skills and innovation as they model the cutting-edge teaching strategies you will use in your future classrooms.
Unique licensure options
Our unique licensure options include the option for a dual licensure, allowing you to earn a license in two content areas, making you more marketable to public and private schools.
Student success
Caring advisors and professors will support you and ensure that you have everything you need to succeed.
Flexible course options
Our program—which includes both face-to-face and online courses—is designed for students who work full time, have families, and are involved in their community. Along with the traditional 22-month timeline, you can pursue a fast-track option and finish in as few as 18 months, plus a thesis.
Christian and diverse perspectives
Courses are taught from a foundation of faith, which adds meaning. And you’ll consider educational theory and practices from national and international viewpoints to learn best practices of K-12 education in Minnesota public and private schools.

Fuel Your Passion. Make a Difference.
Our program is built around Minnesota state licensure standards, but we bring added value: our faculty teach from a foundation in the Christian faith, which is woven into every course. With this approach, our program develops teachers who are knowledgeable, collaborative, and caring—reflecting a strong moral framework of integrity and compassion. While earning a license to teach in one of 10 different content areas, you’ll learn to stay on the cutting edge of our rapidly changing education environment.
