Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Teaching

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program is based on the idea that all students are powerful learners and deserve every opportunity to experience and develop the power of their minds, voices, and capabilities in meaningful learning. It begins in May after students complete their BA and extends through the following academic year. Students enter as part of a cohort team that is guided through the program by university and school mentors. They are placed with a teacher mentor in one of the Adam Institute partner schools at the beginning of the academic year and take the equivalent of 10 courses, including the teaching practicum, determined by and based on their prior course work and planned teaching level.
