The master of arts for teachers (M.A.T.) is for those interested in pursuing a
career in K-12 teaching or teaching at the community college level. The program
focuses especially on providing training in Spanish that will be of practical
use for teachers working in a bilingual setting. The M.A.T. offers fluent
Spanish speakers who may come from a variety of cultural and educational
traditions a thorough grounding in the methodologies and expectations common in
U.S. classrooms. The M.A.T. is also a good fit for Anglophone students looking
to improve their fluency in Spanish. Graduates will combine advanced abilities
in the target language with intense training in pedagogical methods and an acute
sensibility to the special needs in their academic and cultural communities.
