The Program provides individualized support for teacher candidates, in part through a collaborative cohort model. MAT candidates conduct a 27-week-long internship at two Durham Public Schools under the guidance of experienced mentor-faculty. Through graduate-level education and content-area coursework, students develop their teaching skills and become thoughtful leaders in the field of education.

The twelve-months Master of Arts in Teaching degree is designed for individuals interested in getting a license to teach in the following content areas:

  • Secondary English Education
