Teacher Education, M.A.T. (Elementary Education Grades K-5 Concentration)

The Teacher Education for the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree is designed for students who wish to apply for initial teacher licensure and have obtained a bachelor’s degree in a field other than education. The TEML Middle Grades (6-8) prepares teacher candidates to teach in a 6th grade through 8th grade classroom in two of the four disciplines with one being mathematics or science.

Upon admission to the MAT program, transcripts will be analyzed to determine which content courses completed as a part of the undergraduate program will apply toward licensure, and if any additional courses must be taken during the TEML program. If candidates do not have a suitable undergraduate major in a licensure area, it is possible that additional undergraduate coursework will need to be taken in order to meet the licensure requirements set by the state.

Any student wishing to transfer in applicable graduate credit must follow graduate school regulations. However, no credit will be granted for graduate coursework taken more than five years ago. All applicants must take and pass all required licensure tests before student teaching.
