Simmons College College of Arts and Sciences Teaching and Liberal Arts (Dual Degree; M.A./M.A.) Simmons College 300 The Fenway Boston, MA 02115 US   Phone: 1-617-521-2915 Fax: 1-617-521-3058   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.A.- Teaching; M.A.-Liberal Arts On Campus   Simmons’s innovative dual-degree program prepares students for teaching licensure while simultaneously providing a concentration in a chosen area of liberal arts. This 60-credit program leads to a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) plus a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Children’s Literature, English, Gender/Cultural Studies, or Spanish. Students work simultaneously toward both degrees and, upon successful completion of the program, are certified as elementary, middle, or high school teachers. Full-time students can complete the program in approximately two years. Part-time students must complete the program within six years of enrollment. MAT/Liberal Arts graduates are well positioned for leadership roles as department heads, lead teachers, or curriculum coordinators. The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program provides a strong academic and pedagogical foundation, in addition to extensive field experience. As a result, Simmons MAT students are exceptionally well prepared for licensure as elementary, middle, and high school teachers. Simmons-prepared teachers consistently score in the top echelon on state licensure exams, but their real test is in the classroom. Simmons teachers stand out. They bring knowledge, confidence, and creativity to teaching and earn high marks from both pupils and employers.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required: 60  Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor Degree or equivalent  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of all applicants whose first language is not English.
