What if I’m not a licensed teacher, should I enroll in the MAT program?

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program is designed for individuals interested in acquiring teacher licensure for the first time. This program is ideal for working adults who want to enter a meaningful profession, or for students who have completed a baccalaureate degree and have decided they want to teach in the K-12 school system. The MAT program is specifically tailored for individuals with no prior educational experience.
What are my payment options?
There are three payment plans. The plan selected is arranged with Student Services in the Office of Financial Aid located in Memorial Hall at the time of registration.
- Payment in full: A personal check, money order or credit card (American Express®, MasterCard®, or Visa®) may be used.
- Monthly payments: A monthly payment plan via a contract with FACTS Management Services is available.
- Deferred payment: Deferred payment is available by signing a Third Party Promissory Note. This plan is designed only for a person whose employer will pay some portion of tuition but requires a semester grade report. A memorandum of reimbursement on company letterhead stationery is required from the student's employer at the time of registration.
