What You'll Learn

The following information comes from the official EWU catalog, which outlines all degree requirements and serves as the guide to earning a degree. Courses are designed to provide a well-rounded and versatile degree, covering a wide range of subject areas.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) Certificate, Undergraduate

Plan 2/Business and Industry Route teacher certification is a short program for teacher candidates who possess 6,000 paid industry work experience in a specific area. The certificate allows teacher candidates to teach only in that specific area.

The Plan 2 requirements are as follows:

  • document three years (6,000 hours) of paid occupational experience in the specific CTE subcategory/specialty area for which certification is sought;
    • one year (2,000 hours) must be within the past six years;
    • if any of the 2,000 hours are more than six years old, 300 hours of the experience must be within the past two years;
  • complete EWU’s approved Plan 2/Business and Industry Route program.

When you complete the Plan 2 program, you will have a Washington State residency certificate to teach in grades 7–12 ONLY in your specialty area of certification. You will also be certified to teach work-site learning and career choices. Visit the OSPI website for further details.

Classes are offered only as online courses. Some courses are offered as clock hours for students who possess a Washington State Teaching certificate; however, clock hours cannot be transferred to credit at any time.

PROGRAM APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED.

 

Yes! Students can start during any quarter once they are accepted into the program. One thing to keep in mind is that practicum work cannot be completed during summer quarter, so you may have to extend your program one additional quarter if your practicum quarter lands in summer.

Candidates work with the program advisor to design a completion of program course. This program generally takes 2-4 full quarters to complete. These programs follow the Traditional Quarter sequence.  You can mix summer and academic year (quarters) to complete your program.

Contact the CTE Office if you need further assistance after reviewing the information pages.

NO. The Plan 2B course program is not accepting new applications and will not be available to switch over to.
