Program Overview

Colleges of Distinction 2023-2024 - EducationThe Master of Arts in Teaching introduces students who completed a bachelor’s degree in a field other than education to the fundamentals of teaching in the elementary or secondary school. Even if you didn’t major in education as an undergrad, you can still be an elementary, junior high, or high school teacher!

They apply these skills during a long-term student teaching experience under the mentorship of expert teachers.
