Master of Arts in Teaching Licensure First

If you are seeking to become a teacher and to earn a master’s degree, yet are concerned with employment as soon as possible, this program is for you. With the Licensure First option in the MAT program, you will complete the state requirements for initial licensure or add-on endorsements prior to completing your master’s degree requirements. Once employed, you will continue with your degree requirements for the full MAT. This program is tailored to the needs of those ready to teach before graduation!
