Students seeking to teach English at the secondary level should complete the English Major (B.A), and then apply to the Teacher Certification/M.A.T. cohort program in the College of Education during their last term as undergraduates. For requirements and information, refer to the Secondary Education Graduate Program.
Transfer students and others who have completed a minimum of 60 hours toward their B.A. degree in English should see advisors about our Accelerated Program toward the M.A.T. degree. Qualified students may count the first four courses in the M.A.T. program as their last four courses of the B.A. degree, hence saving money (graduate level tuition is slightly higher) and up to a full term's time-to-degree.
For details, see "Accelerated Programs" at the bottom of the requirements for the Major in English.
