Introduction
The Bachelor of Applied Science in Teacher Education (BAS-TE) is designed to allow students to earn a four-year degree with a K-8 certification.
Admission into the BAS-TE program is competitive. Meeting the minimum entrance requirements does not guarantee admission as the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of enrollment spaces.
The BAS-TE program runs during fall, winter, and spring quarters. Classes are 4:30 – 8:40 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings.

Students admitted to BAS-TE must attempt the WEST-B before starting the program.
To be placed into the admissions pool, applicants must complete and submit the following:
BAS application fee of $25 and completed application
