Introduction
The degree program, Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), is designed for individuals who have a baccalaureate degree and are seeking an initial teaching license. The program features a year-long, field-based experience combined with professional preparation coursework. The program prepares teachers in either multiple subjects (typically elementary level) or single subjects (typically secondary level). The program begins with on-campus coursework during the summer term, continues with a school-based practicum assignment at the start of the public school year, and includes hybrid coursework during fall and winter terms. Candidates complete the program in the spring term.
The College of Education seeks candidates who demonstrate exemplary professional behaviors, social aptness, personal excellence, and academic competency. Transfer credits are not generally accepted into the MAT program and are only considered on a case-by-case basis by the MAT program coordinator. Program admission is required and is based on meeting high standards of academic performance and teacher potential. Program candidates should begin planning a year in advance to meet all admission standards and submit materials by the designated due date. Resource restrictions in selected locations, levels, or endorsements may limit the number of students accepted to the program.
