William Jewell Master's Degree Recommended Pathways - Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training Graduates

The following are recommended graduation pathways for students who completed Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training coursework prior to enrolling through William Jewell College.

Also Known As / Common Questions

  • “What courses should I take if I already completed Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training before enrolling at William Jewell?”

  • “How do I graduate in 2 vs. 3 semesters as a Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training graduate?”

  • “What is the recommended pathway for Fall, Spring, or Summer start?”

This program is currently undergoing accreditation, which we anticipate will be finalized by Spring 2026.

Pathways Overview

Completing the Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training exempts you from full participation in the following courses at William Jewell College as part of your Master's of Science in Education:

  • The Human Side of Teaching (4 credits) - EDU 620
  • Educator Resilience and Well-Being (4 credits) - EDU621

Graduates have already fulfilled the learning outcomes of these two courses and will complete the degree requirements through Training Recognition Credits (TRCs).

When enrolling at William Jewell College Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training graduates may follow an accelerated 2-semester pathway or a 3-semester pathway toward graduation.

Training Recognition Credits (TRCs)

TRCs represent coursework already completed through your Breathe For Change trainings.

You will submit two assignments per course to demonstrate prior learning from your Breathe For Change experiences.

TRCs do not include live class meetings or new content—they exist to recognize your previous training within the William Jewell degree framework.

Note: TRC courses are not currently included in the pathways below. Upon accreditation they will be available for enrollment.

Expected Workload

For the accelerated 2-semester pathway, expect 5-10 hours of self-paced work per week outside of the live Zoom sessions.

For the 3-semester extended pathway, expect 3-6 hours of self-paced work per week, outside of the live Zoom sessions.

Because TRC courses involve reflection and submission of prior learning evidence, the workload will be lighter than a full course.

Below you will find the recommended course sequence for new students based on the start term (Fall, Spring, or Summer).
