WGU master's completion
At a glance
Last updated
Career changers pick the WGU M.A.T. English Education degree to get licensed, then meet the paper load: an eight-course professional core, English content assessments, and a professional portfolio. We complete the academic side: pedagogy PAs written to the rubric, content exams finished, paced around your clinical and student-teaching windows, with remaining academic CUs cleared in 6 months or you do not pay. The master's package is $3,500 flat. Coursework Ninja is independent and not affiliated with Western Governors University.
The M.A.T. in English Education is WGU's licensure track for people who already hold a bachelor's in something else and want to teach middle or high school English. Eight professional-core courses, English content assessments, embedded clinical experiences, and a professional portfolio all land on top of the job that pays your bills, in a program nationally recognized by the National Council for Teachers of English.
We complete the academic side of that pile. Pedagogy PAs written to the rubric, content exams finished, the portfolio assembled, everything sequenced around your clinical and student-teaching windows so nothing collides with a placement. Live classroom work stays with you; the written work becomes ours. Academic CUs finished in 6 months under the agreed plan, or you do not pay.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
Learning science, inclusive classrooms, positive learning environments, curriculum and instructional strategies, assessment design, and technology for instruction: the eight-course core every secondary candidate carries. We produce the PAs to the rubric and manage the revisions.
The literature, language, and writing assessments that qualify you to teach English specifically, completed on the weekly schedule instead of between grading periods at midnight.
The program's portfolio requirement, including your resume and philosophy of teaching statement, drafted with you and polished to the standard evaluators actually score.
Early clinical, advanced clinical, and student teaching happen in real classrooms and stay with you. Everything academic around those windows is sequenced so a placement week never collides with a submission deadline.

The plan
Months 1-2
Professional-core PAs open the plan: the first submissions go out in week one or two so evaluator feedback starts shaping everything after it.
Months 3-4
English content assessments and the remaining core courses clear weekly, with the portfolio drafted alongside instead of saved for the end.
Months 5-6
Portfolio finalized, last academic CUs closed before student-teaching intensity peaks, revision buffer protected. The finish date holds in writing.
