The Master of Arts in Teaching Accelerated Pathway


The MAT Accelerated program (MAT-5 program) is a fast-paced option for Winthrop students who began education coursework as an undergraduate. MAT Accelerated students complete courses required for teaching certification in the summer, fall, and spring. The accelerated pathway requires recent Winthrop graduates to have a minor in Educational Studies and a bachelor's degree in the fields of art, biology, chemistry, dance, educational studies, English, French, history, mathematics, political science, psychology, Spanish, or theatre.
