Master of Arts in Teaching

The Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) is an intensive, full-year program designed to qualify students interested in elementary, middle or high school teaching in urban settings for the “initial” teaching license in Massachusetts. The program is a unique blend of school and university experiences. It requires summer courses and a full academic year of teaching in one of the partner schools of the Jacob Hiatt Center for Urban Education. The Massachusetts initial teaching license qualifies students to teach in most other states.

Eligibility Students enter the M.A.T. program having completed a liberal arts degree. Students interested in teaching at the secondary level normally have fulfilled a major in their planned teaching field, such as English, history, mathematics or biology. Students must pass the Massachusetts Test for Educator Licensure before the end of the fall of their M.A.T. year to retain eligibility.
