Secondary Education

The Department of Education offers two graduate programs: a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) and a Master of Arts (A.M.) in Urban Education Policy. 

MAT Program Information and Requirements

The MAT program offers a master's degree in one of four secondary education disciplines: English, social studies, science (biology, chemistry, or physics/engineering), or mathematics. The MAT program has an intensive one-year, full-time format, beginning with a summer semester in June and ending the following May. The program is certification-eligible for Rhode Island state teacher certification in secondary education (grades 7-12). Rhode Island is a member of the Interstate Certification Compact (ICC), which has reciprocal agreements with 44 states.

MAT program graduate students complete 8 credits in total, consisting of a mix of one-credit and half-credit courses, including the summer practicum and academic-year student teaching.
