M.A.T. in TESOL
COURSES FAQs OVERVIEW TESTIMONIALS KSU CATALOG
Program Overview
The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) is a degree for those with a bachelor’s degree,
but no education background or teacher certification. Successful completion of program
coursework and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) approved content
pedagogy assessment, qualifies graduates for initial teaching certification.
The MAT TESOL focuses on teaching P-12 students who are culturally and linguistically diverse. Core courses include curriculum development, collaborative practices, and content area reading and writing.
Teachers who currently hold a valid teaching certificate, and who are interested in a TESOL master's degree program, should go to the TESOL M.Ed. website located here.
How long will it take to complete?
Students complete the 39 credit hours of course work over a period of approximately
4-7 semesters (including courses in the summer). The final two semesters include intensive
field placements within schools.
