The Master of Arts in
Teaching (M.A.T.) degree in Special
Education provides initial teacher
preparation at the master's degree level for
qualified candidates who hold a bachelor's
degree from a regionally accredited
institution.
Most candidates do not
currently hold clear, renewable
certification; some candidates hold clear,
renewable certificates in distantly related
teaching fields (e.g., Physical Education,
Business Education). Students are expected
to begin and matriculate with their cohort
for satisfactory completion of the degree
program. Students who fail to satisfactorily
meet any of the decision point requirements
will not be allowed to continue in the
program.
The cohort begins in
January of every year.
