Undergraduate Pathway to the Master of Arts in Teaching Program


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: All Academic Programs

Education students seeking a teaching license are eligible to apply the licensure credits taken as part of their undergraduate degree toward Hamline’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. This program allows for a seamless transition to graduate study. After earning a bachelor’s degree, students finish any remaining licensure requirements as MAT students. After completing all licensure requirements, including student teaching, students finish the MAT degree by taking two additional courses.
