教育学硕士

The 教育学硕士 Program has a two-fold purpose. First, it is designed for promising individuals with non-education bachelor degrees who want to become classroom teachers in elementary grades 4-6, 中学7-12年级, 或者特殊科目. Second, it allows for individuals who are interested in teaching, but not seeking licensure to earn a graduate degree. This second purpose enables individuals 国家ly and inter国家ly to secure a graduate degree in education. 另外, the MAT programs of study are offered entirely online, providing flexibility and accessibility to students.

Candidates progress through the MAT Program as part of a cohort, a design that will enhance the delivery of University support and promote collaboration in planning, 实现, 和评估.

The Mississippi Department of Education issues MAT Program licensure in the following areas: Art, Biology, Business, 化学, 基础教育(4-6年级), English, French, German, 家庭经济, 市场营销, Math, Music, 体育课, Physics, 社会研究, Spanish, 语音通信, 科技教育.
