Master en Enseignement

Learn to be politically informed and democratically engaged curriculum decision makers and designers who think critically about educational purposes, perspectives, and practices.

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program focuses on a curriculum. We engage in critical study of historical and current controversies that shape what is taught in classrooms today. Teachers learn to design a curriculum that embodies their educational values and provides all students access to powerful learning opportunities.

Teacher candidates are recommended by USF to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) for the Preliminary Multiple Subjects (36 credits) or Single Subject (34 credits) Teaching Credential with optional bilingual authorization in Spanish.
