Regional MAT Sessions Planned

College graduates who are interested in a career as a teacher should attend an upcoming orientation on the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program at Morehead State University.  Students who are currently enrolled in the MAT Program are invited to attend to find answers to advising questions and concerns.
 
MSU offers three MAT programs in which degree holders with no prior teaching experience may obtain a master’s degree and teacher certification, while employed as a teacher. They are:
Middle school.  Secondary.  Interdisciplinary early childhood education. 
Orientation and advising sessions for the MAT program at MSU will be held at various locations through December. Topics such as program design, including admission and application processes for middle, secondary and interdisciplinary early childhood education will be discussed.  In addition, any questions or concerns related to the Secondary and Middle Grade Program course curriculum will be discussed.
 
Interested persons should bring transcripts and GRE or Praxis I (PPST, CORE/CASE) scores for evaluation purposes. Registration for the GRE or the Core Academic Skills for Educators (CORE/CASE) exam can be completed through the Educational Testing Service (ETS) website at www.ets.org/praxis.  Those attending to advising should bring a current copy of your check sheet/program evaluation or contact Duane Lambert at d.lambert@moreheadstate.edu, Marian Sims at m.sims@moreheadstate.edu or Michelle Roberts at m.roberts@moreheadstate.edu prior to the session you plan to attend.
