MSU’s Master of Arts in Teaching programs ranked as some of nation’s best

Morehead State University was founded as the Morehead Normal School more than 130 years ago and its quality education programs continue to draw students from across the Commonwealth and the nation. Now, some of MSU’s education programs are getting national recognition.

TheBestSchools.org, a website developed to connect prospective students with the best available online programs, listed MSU’s online Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in middle grades (5-9) and secondary education (8-12) as one of The 30 Best Online Master’s in K-12 Education Programs for 2018. The list, which featured both public and private higher education institutions from across the U.S., had MSU ranked highest among Kentucky public universities.

“The College of Education is regularly informed by partner P-12 school districts of the high quality of our MAT graduates and their work with their learners. This ranking provides additional confirmation of that quality,” said Dr. Chris Miller, dean of the College of Education. “This high recognition, along with other recent education program rankings related to both affordability and quality, demonstrates the commitment of the MSU College of Education faculty and staff to provide high quality educational experiences for our students that are teaching the next generation of learners.”

TheBestSchools.org researches and writes primarily about online and on-campus college and universities, which includes undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and post-doc programs.
