Master of Arts in Teaching

Become a teacher with Pacific University's Master of Arts in Teaching programs.

The master of arts in teaching prepares you to be an elementary, middle, or high school teacher. There are several different routes to the degree, with experiences tailored for your location and future plans.

Pacific’s focus on teaching and learning in a close nurturing environment leads to genuine transformation in students’ lives.

About one in four of our students — from freshmen to future doctors — are the first in their families to attend college. And our students experience greater socioeconomic growth as a result of their educations than their peers at other colleges in the Pacific Northwest.

At Pacific, students build deep personal relationships with friends, mentors, faculty members, and academic and career counselors.

Our students mix their rigorous academic experiences with meaningful research, community engagement, and life experiences, helping them become successful and active citizens and community leaders.
