Do you have a bachelor's degree and want to make an impact in the classroom? Henderson State University's Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) can help you earn your Arkansas standard teaching license while earning a master's degree and increasing your earning potential as a teacher.

The MAT program is a 36-hour degree emphasizing pedagogy, methodology, classroom management, human growth and development and needs of exceptional children.

The program is designed and developed to allow a candidate with a bachelor's degree or higher an alternative route to teacher licensure in special education, elementary education, middle level, or secondary education. The field-based program focuses on areas exhibited in the four domains of Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Teaching.

The candidate is employed as a Teacher of Record with a provisional license or placed in an internship while completing class work and requirements necessary for a standard Arkansas teaching license.
