The Master of Arts in Teaching is a postgraduate program designed for those holding a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university but lacking a Class B teaching credential. Prospective students without an undergraduate teaching certificate should consult with the Teacher Certification Officer and their selected discipline advisor for a personalized assessment of any academic gaps before enrolling. According to Alabama State Department of Education regulations, M.A.T. candidates must either possess an academic major in their chosen teaching subject or demonstrate 32 semester hours of relevant coursework, with a minimum of 19 upper-level credits.
This curriculum targets professionals with undergraduate degrees in music disciplines seeking P-12 choral education certification. Successful completion not only awards the graduate degree but also satisfies the requirements for Alabama's Alternative-A Teaching Certificate in Music: Choral Education (P-12).
