MAGISTER SZTUKI W NAUCZANIU

The degree program, Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), is designed for individuals who have a baccalaureate degree and are seeking an initial teaching license. The program features a year-long, field-based experience combined with professional preparation coursework. The program prepares teachers in either multiple subjects (typically elementary level) or single subjects (typically secondary level). The program begins with on-campus coursework during the summer term, continues with a school-based practicum assignment at the start of the public school year, and includes hybrid coursework during fall and winter terms. Candidates complete the program in the spring term.

The College of Education seeks candidates who demonstrate exemplary professional behaviors, social aptness, personal excellence, and academic competency. Transfer credits are not generally accepted into the MAT program and are only considered on a case-by-case basis by the MAT program coordinator. Program admission is required and is based on meeting high standards of academic performance and teacher potential. Program candidates should begin planning a year in advance to meet all admission standards and submit materials by the designated due date. Resource restrictions in selected locations, levels, or endorsements may limit the number of students accepted to the program.

Eastern Oregon University (EOU) was founded as a teacher's college and today serves as a centre for education, culture, and scholarship in Oregon's rural areas. At EOU, students receive personal attention from their professors while building strong relationships with peers and mentors.

Eastern Oregon University serves our students, our nation, and our world by being a place where the higher levels of learning are practised and lived daily. Education is a process of changing oneself, an enterprise fraught with conflict between old values and new, old ideas, and new. Students come to a university to be challenged and to become, through that process, larger, more capable, and wiser. Eastern Oregon University is committed to being a place where learning, inquiry, examination, debate, and reasoning are modelled, practised, and learned – skills that our graduates will incorporate into their sense of themselves and build on and develop throughout the rest of their lives.

Eastern Oregon University guides student inquiry through integrated, high-quality liberal arts and professional programs that lead to responsible and reflective action in a diverse and interconnected world.

As an educational, cultural, and scholarly centre, Eastern Oregon University connects Oregon's rural regions to a wider world. Our beautiful setting and small size enhance the personal attention our students receive. At the same time, partnerships with colleges, universities, agencies, and communities add to our region and state's educational possibilities.

Academic programs at Eastern Oregon University offer the opportunity to learn in a small classroom setting in beautiful rural Oregon. Students can choose from more than 30 academic programs with four colleges, including sciences, humanities, teaching, and business! Eastern Oregon University has small class sizes with dedicated faculty, whose focus is on student success.
