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.
