Can you picture yourself as a classroom teacher?
If so, we have just the program for you.
The Master of Arts in Teaching in Early Childhood Education
Approved by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (PSC), the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Program in Early Childhood Education at Reinhardt University is designed for college graduates with undergraduate degrees in fields other than education who are planning a career in the teaching profession and are seeking initial certification.
Completion of the MAT program leads to a master's degree and recommendation for a Georgia Level 5 Certificate in Early Childhood (P-5) Education.
The MAT program includes advanced content preparation as well as professional education coursework. The goal of the MAT program is to transform candidates into professional educators who provide responsive teaching.
"With my children in college and no relocation in sight, I looked at numerous programs, but I just kept coming back to Reinhardt's MAT. Everything about it appealed to me; I could continue working; the tuition was affordable; it did not require an education undergraduate degree, and I loved the idea of being a teacher. The further I got into the MAT program, the more passionate I became about teaching and the more confident I was that I made the right decision."
