Additional coursework includes the history, theory, and practice of art education. Depending on the completeness of the student's background, the MAT Program provides a flexible mix of professional education, advanced studio, and liberal arts study in a 42-credit program that may be completed in three full semesters or two semesters and two summers. MAT candidates must successfully complete the Instructional I PRAXIS tests by the end of their first semester. Although the program normally leads to certification upon receiving the degree, all candidates must, in addition, successfully complete all the required PRAXIS tests with satisfactory scores to qualify for State certification. This unique degree program allows a student to obtain his/her certification requirements for teaching while also earning a master's degree recognized by potential employing school districts and educational institutions. In many cases this enables the MAT recipient to qualify for a higher salary and often preferred placement. Applicants to the MAT Program should possess a BFA or BA degree in studio art with a minimum of 45 credits in studio and 12 credits in art history with a "B" or better cumulative average. They must have completed six credits of college-level math, three credits of college-level English composition and three credits of British or American literature prior to formal admission to the professional education program. Applicants must also have satisfactorily completed the coursework and/or acquired competencies in fields relating to teacher certification. If any deficiencies exist, up to 16 corequisite credits may be completed concurrently with the degree and applied to elective requirements.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation:
