Creative Arts, MAT

|
The Master of Arts in Teaching in Creative Arts degree was developed for preK-12 visual arts teachers who have an initial license and are seeking a professional license in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The MAT program is designed to meet the appropriate master’s degree requirement, which is part of the criteria for professional stage licensure, as set forth in the most recent MA DESE licensure regulations. This degree program also appeals to preK-12 schoolteachers who already hold a professional license and want to acquire additional knowledge and a master’s degree in the discipline.
Students should consult the Graduate Academic Policies section of this catalog for information regarding graduate program procedures.
