The Master of Arts in Teaching program at Chatham was developed on the premise that successful teachers need a strong liberal arts education, in-depth knowledge of a chosen discipline, and mastery of current educational theory, practice, and technology. The MAT program is designed for students planning teaching careers in PreK 4, Middle Level (Grades 4-8), K 12 Art Education, and Secondary education. Areas of study in Secondary education include biology, chemistry, English, mathematics, social studies, and physics.
