MASTER OF ARTS IN TEACHING (M.A.T.)

Teacher Education has been a major focus of the MSU campus mission for over 125 years. MSU has a strong reputation for preparing qualified teachers for schools throughout the country with eighty percent of the MSU graduates securing teaching positions in North Dakota. The master’s degree and graduate credit offerings provide professional-level training to increase the number of master's degree teachers, assists with addressing the teacher shortage areas across the state, and graduate credit to assist teachers for licensure renewal and salary increases due to lane changes.

We're here to give students a chance to prove themselves. College is often the difference between dreaming and doing.

We grant that opportunity by supporting students with experienced, compassionate faculty, the latest learning environments, and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages self-expression and educational exploration.

And we are here to be the affordable, accessible collegiate option that gives individuals the opportunity to become professional, productive members of society. It isn't enough for us to create knowledgeable graduates or even a hard-working workforce. We exist to shape citizens who'll contribute to their communities with time, talent and treasure. We develop sharp thinkers who'll lead change in both their personal and professional lives. And we give every student every opportunity to make a difference.
