Offical Requirements for the BA
Master of Arts in the Teaching of History (MAT)
Graduate students may work toward a Master of Arts in the Teaching of History (MAT),
a degree that may be combined with state requirements for certification. This program is designed to meet
the distinctive needs of both full-time students and students with jobs, including secondary
school teachers (for whom our non-certification track may be particularly attractive).
The MAT combines most of the traditional MA curriculum
with specialized classes in teaching methods. MAT
students take many of the same courses required of regular MA and Phd students, along
with comprehensive final examinations. Areas of concentration include U.S. History, European History, and World (non-Western) History.
For specific course offerings please view the History Department course catalog. Also,
view the advising documents
for the specific program requirements, for both certification and non-certification tracks.
