MAT Elementary Education Specialization

The Master of Arts in Teaching with specialization in Elementary Education (K-6), is designed for candidates who already hold a bachelor’s degree, but have little or no background in education. Successful completion of the program and licensure requirements will lead to a Master’s degree in Elementary Education and an M-Level North Carolina teaching license. The program prepares educators to be highly effective elementary classroom teachers in grades kindergarten through sixth grade.

Classes are offered in the evenings to accommodate the schedules of working professionals. Hands-on learning experiences occur each semester through authentic field placements. During the final semester, students participate in a full-time student teaching internship in an elementary classroom under the guidance of a mentor teacher and faculty supervisor.
