Teaching Programs in Washington
Teaching programs pair subject coursework with student teaching and state licensure for a specific level, such as elementary or secondary. Earnings are set largely by district pay scales, which makes the state you teach in a first-order decision.
Programs below are ranked only when a college figure rests on at least 100 graduates. Programs on 30 to 99 graduates carry a small-program flag and are listed, not ranked. Anything smaller shows the national median for the major, badged as such.
