GRE General Exam - required only for Biology and Social Sciences concentrations
The fully online MAT was designed to enable students holding degrees other than education degrees to study in selected teaching programs at the advanced graduate level. Candidates must have an undergraduate degree in the major of the concentration and must meet the prerequisite requirements of the department housing the concentration. Candidates with an undergraduate degree in a major other than the MAT concentration may not qualify for the MAT.
The program leading to the MAT degree in comprehensive education requires a minimum of 36 semester hours of graduate study. The MAT requires students in all concentrations to complete 21 semester hours in the professional core. A year-long internship or the equivalent is required. The specific requirements for each concentration are listed in each concentration area.
The Comprehensive Education MAT has two phases. Successful completion of phase one leads to recommendation for an initial level teaching license from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, pending completion of all state-mandated requirements. Phase two leads to recommendation for an advanced level teaching license from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, again pending completion of all state-mandated requirements.
