At Heritage University, we can help you
Our Bachelor of Arts in Education degree is for those who know they want to teach, but need a degree to do so. This pathway is also for two-year degree holders. With a B.A. Ed., you can teach at the K-8 level.
Career changers who already hold a bachelor’s degree in a field other than education can earn a Master in Teaching and the credentials they need to be certified to teach at the K-8 level.
Here at Heritage University, we believe
Heritage University empowers a multi-cultural and inclusive student body to overcome the social, cultural, economic and geographic barriers that limit access to higher education. Rooted in the homeland of the Yakama Nation, we embrace transformational student-centered education that cultivates leadership and a commitment to the promotion of a more just society.
Heritage is Washington state’s only university to be designated a Hispanic Serving Institution. Additionally, with its percentage of Native American students, it also qualifies to be a Native American Serving Institution. The broad diversity found at Heritage is an asset to all students as this exposure to different ethnicities and cultures helps them succeed in a multicultural workforce.
85% of Heritage students are the first in their family to attend college. To help overcome the challenges faced by first-generation college students, Heritage provides Student Support Services (S3), a federal TriO project to assist first-time and low-income college students and students with disabilities in earning a bachelor’s degree.
Heritage helps first-time students from migrant and seasonal farmworker families by offering college transition support services through the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP).
