Program Description:

Known for excellence in teacher education since 1914, Marygrove College, located in Detroit, Michigan, has been a pioneer in offering master's degree programs in a variety of distance-learning formats. The Online Master in the Art of Teaching (MAT) with a Focus on Reading & Literacy, grades K-6 is a program of study that accomplishes two goals. First, it concentrates on developing instructional leaders. Second, it concentrates on the content knowledge elementary teachers need in order to be effective teachers of reading and literacy. The program incorporates the Five Core Propositions (principles of teaching) as described by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).

The structure of the MAT program allows working professionals to obtain their master’s degree in less than 2 years.

Each of the Online MAT degrees consists of 10 courses—core courses and specialty courses. Six core courses focus on content that all teachers need to know regardless of grade level and/or subject area, and four specialty courses focus on the content specific to each program.

The tuition for all of the online master's degree programs is $420* per semester credit hour.
