The Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) programs from Moravian University are designed for those who seek both an initial teaching certification and a master’s degree. The M.A.T. programs provide you with the skills you need to teach in your chosen area along with advanced graduate level coursework that will allow you to refine your research and critical thinking skills. Each program is rich with the theoretical and practical concepts that you will need to be a reflective, inclusive and successful teacher.

Our programs include initial certification and a master’s in Secondary Education (English, Math, Social Studies, General Science, and Biology), Early Childhood Education, Music Education and Art Education. Moravian University offers small class sizes so that students receive the quality education and support that they need to prepare for their teaching journeys. Students in their M.A.T. program of choice will also have ample opportunities to be immersed in the field where they will gain experience in a variety of classroom sites. Working with a qualified cooperating teacher, students will get a chance to try new and innovative teaching techniques and become acquainted with classrooms across the Lehigh Valley. Paired with coursework, your field experiences will prepare you to be a competitive candidate.

Required Courses in the Major


MAT: Secondary Education 34 Credits


Note:


* With courses taken over the summer months, students who are full time can complete this program in approximately 18 months. All of the classes that students take are necessary and the credit requirements do align with our neighboring institution, DeSales. Other institutions appear to combine all of the instructional strategies classes for Literacy, Social Studies, Math and Science. Elementary teachers are tasked with knowing all subjects well and so we believe that these need their own course in order to be done effectively.
