Programs Overview
The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs prepare students for successful careers in education through high quality and accessible education. The goal of MAT is to prepare teachers to make effective decisions in diverse classrooms. To accomplish this goal, emphasis is placed on producing master teachers who are self-reflective, life-long learners who have an understanding of child development, content, and pedagogy. MAT licensure candidates must be able to use theory, research, classroom experience, and professional judgment to lead others in collaborative planning, implementation, and evaluation of effective instruction for students.
