• Students pursue teacher certification while earning credits toward the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree.  The master’s degree may be completed after certification, but degree requirements must be completed within 6 years of the time the first course in the program is completed.
  • The MAT program may be completed as a full-time or part-time student. The certification portion of the program can be completed in 2 years as a full-time student; however, the Early Childhood and Special Education programs require additional coursework and additional clinical experience.
