There is no rigid course sequence since each individual brings unique knowledge, skills and experiences. The field experience is the culmination of each program. As part of the field experience, students are required to attend a weekly seminar. Enrollment in this course, however, does not mean that a student will automatically receive state certification.
Candidates have up to five years from the date of matriculation to complete their programs.
An extension of completion date may be granted at the discretion of the Dean of the School of Education. In such cases, additional courses to update the student's program may be required. Specific undergraduate prerequisites are listed with each program description. Prerequisite courses will not be credited toward the MAT or MPS degree. With the approval of a faculty member in the appropriate department and the Dean of the School of Education, students may design and conduct original study projects or curricula.
