ENGLISH CONTENT SPECIALIZATION FOR CANDIDATES:

The M.A.T. in English Education is designed to include initial certification to teach English, grades 6-12—with ESOL Endorsement—while working towards a Master's degree. It is planned for graduates of B.A. Liberal Arts English programs or for graduates of other programs who have completed the following within their programs of study: grammar, history/development of language, adolescent literature, American literature, British literature, world literature, female/minority literature, expository writing and creative writing.

Before students may graduate, all candidates must have completed—either within the degree itself or in addition to it—the NCATE/NCTE English Requirements for Certification, Grades 6-12. It is recommended these content courses be taken before Internship, but they may be taken afterwards per advisor approval. (See page two)
