Master of Arts in Teaching: Enhance Your Credential Journey with Specialized Coursework and Experiential Learning
The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree is designed for Intern candidates who seek to earn a graduate degree while simultaneously pursuing their Preliminary Teaching Credential. Intern candidates have an opportunity to opt-in to the MAT program. Candidates enrolled in the MAT take an additional 4 units during the summer after Year 1 or Year 2 to complete the MAT degree. The MAT-specific coursework is interest-based, and designed for candidates to develop deeper expertise in specific areas of education as well as provide them with experiential-based learning opportunities.
More information can be found in our candidate handbook here on page 10.
*Please note that MAT is only available to candidates enrolled in the traditional two-year pathway.
