Education M.A.T. - English Education Concentration
The Master of Teaching program is designed for students who want a master’s degree that allows them to focus on both English content and education. The program is tailored to students who want to not only earn an advanced degree in the discipline of English, and also want to apply their knowledge of English to a teaching career in a secondary or postsecondary classroom. Thus, students will work closely with both English and Education faculty to accomplish the goals of this dual-focused program. Students in the program will complete 12 credits of education coursework, 15 credits of English coursework, three elective credits, and a final project that displays mastery of both content areas.
