To be eligible for the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.), a student must have a bachelor’s degree in the licensure field or the equivalent with a minimum undergraduate grade-point average of 2.75, complete the GRE examination and be admitted to the APSU College of Graduate Studies.

The M.A.T. is not available to those who already hold a professional teaching license. However, individuals teaching on an alternative license in Tennessee may qualify for admission to the M.A.T. degree program.

The program consists of 10 courses, with two courses offered each term for five terms, and is offered in a cohort format, with the first cohort beginning Aug. 18. The next cohort group will begin in the Fall I 2009 term.

Coursework is provided in both classroom and online formats. Field experiences in public schools are required as part of the coursework. At the end of the program, participants either must complete student teaching or teach on an alternative license and pass all required licensure exams to earn their teaching license.

The application for graduate school admission is available online at www.apsu.edu/cogs.
