Master of Arts in Teaching: Liberal Studies

The M.A.T.: Liberal Studies Program provides maximum flexibility and allows degree candidates to identify their individual learning needs and select appropriate courses in education and the liberal arts. The course of study is planned in consultation with a faculty adviser. The M.A.T. liberal studies degree may include endorsements in areas such as reading (the Language and Literacy Program), mathematics, drama, or ESOL/bilingual education, and may suit the needs of those seeking a Continuing License. Individuals who desire a highly flexible program, or persons who wish to pursue graduate study in education without an Oregon teaching license (teachers from community colleges, independent and parochial schools, or informal learning centers) may select this option.
