Program Description

Georgia College offers an online Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Middle Grades Mathematics and Science for teaching grades 4-8. The program is 36 hours with all coursework online with the exception of required field experiences in a school. Current teachers in middle grades classrooms can use their own classrooms to complete the field experiences and if the candidate does not have a school available, we can assist in finding a local school. Admission to the program is ongoing and courses are set up to not require prerequisites with the exception of the Professional Seminar and Field Studies experience coming before the Internship (Student Teaching).
