The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program is a pre-service graduate degree for students that already have an undergraduate degree in a related field. At the culmination of completing coursework and a semester of student teaching, students satisfy Commonwealth of Virginia requirements to attain licensure in PreK-12 Art.
The 30-credit degree program includes studio components, site observations at surrounding public schools, contemporary theory and curriculum design. In the past four years, 100% of our job-seeking graduates have attained a contracted position in regional public schools within a year of graduation.
