B.A. & M.Ed. Options – Primary Course

Undergraduate And Graduate Cooperative Programs - Primary Course

Students at the Montessori Institute Northwest have the option of participating in one of our Cooperative Degree Programs. These programs are offered to enhance the educational experience of our students. In these programs students simultaneously earn either undergraduate or graduate level credit while fulfilling the AMI requirements during the Primary Course.

Bachelor of Arts Degree Option through Marylhurst University

  • For the AMI Primary Diploma, 36 undergraduate credits can be applied towards the Bachelor of Arts in Human Studies, Interdisciplinary Studies, or Psychology at Marylhurst University in Marylhurst, Oregon (Located 10 minutes south of Portland, OR). 
  • Students who wish to earn undergraduate credit for their AMI Diploma need to apply, register, and pay tuition to both MINW and Marylhurst University. 
  • Students will experience enhanced expectations for coursework during the AMI course. Grades will be issued and applied to the undergraduate credits. 
  • Financial aid is available for students registered at Marylhurst through their Financial Aid Department. Grants and Loans awarded from Marylhurst can be used for tuition at both MINW and Marylhurst. Marylhurst charges a reduced credit fee for MINW students with the understanding that tuition is being paid at both MINW and Marylhurst. 
  • Additional coursework will be required to complete the Bachelor degree programs. Marylhurst works with each student to assess transfer credits from previous coursework and life experience to determine the additional courses needed to complete the degree. 
  • To apply to Marylhurst, students must schedule a meeting with an admissions counselor. Please contact the Admissions department directly for more information. If you have questions about the course and how these programs work together please contact MINW directly.
