MAT Program Overview
Inspire compassionate action in teaching the students of tomorrow.
Our nationally accredited, full-time, 10-month MAT program prepare candidates for licensure as elementary or secondary teachers. Our full-time faculty, deep professional network, and low tuition package are significant advantages for graduate students seeking to begin or advance a teaching career. The MAT program begins in June and ends in April, when candidates graduate fully certified. Depending on the session, classes and field experience run in a combination of morning, afternoon, and evening.
