Graduate Programs

Master of Arts in Teaching

The Master of Arts in Teaching degree is designed for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade visual art 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 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education regulations. This degree program will also appeal to secondary school teachers who already hold a standard level or professional license and want to acquire additional knowledge and a master’s degree in the discipline. A minimum of 18 approved graduate credits in the academic area of concentration and successful completion of a comprehensive examination is required.

Questions regarding the Graduate Program should be directed to Professor John Hooker, the Graduate Coordinator for the Art Department.
