In

inexperience teachers who may benefit from a developmentally
sequenced field base approach. The MAT offers opportunity for
an initial license in ten (10) teaching areas:
- Biology Education, 9-12;
- English Education, 9-12;
- Social Science-History Education, 9-12;
- Mathematics Education, 9-12;
- Middle Grades Language Arts, 6-9;
- Middle Grades Mathematics, 6-9;
- Middle Grades Science, 6-9;
- Middle Grades Social Studies, 6-9;
- Social Science-Political Science Education, 9-12;
- Social Science-Sociology
Education, 9-12;
- Special Education General
Curriculum, K-12.
The
primary focus of the MAT is on earning an initial "A" level license
with subsequent opportunities to earn a master's degree with
eligibility for an "M" license.
