Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in Elementary Education

The MAT program is an online alternative certification and masters program, which prepares mid-career changers, or recent graduates who have earned a bachelor’s degree in a content area outside the field of education to fulfill their dream of becoming a teacher.  The program also collaborates and partners with K-12 districts throughout the state to supply them with highly qualified, certified teachers in high-need areas.

 

Dual Certification is available with the Elementary Inclusive program:

Admission Criteria:
