Graduate Programs

MBC offers distinct graduate level studies. Combined with a commitment to academic excellence and personalized education, they provide a supportive, successful environment for graduate work.

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Degree is for students who have a non-education undergraduate degree and are seeking initial licensure along with the master's degree. (Teacher Licensure is also available through undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs.)

The Master of Education (MEd) Degree is a professional degree for those who are seeking advanced study in the field of education. This program is intended for persons who are already licensed or who are pursuing careers that do not require teacher licensure.

The Master of Letters/Master of Fine Arts in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature in Performance (MLitt/MFA) Degree combines stagecraft and scholarship with concentrations in acting, directing, and teaching. The degrees employ the Blackfriars Playhouse, the only recreation of Shakespeare's indoor theatre, and are offered in partnership with the American Shakespeare Center.
