MAT Residency Program Course Sequence

The MAT program length is between 12 and 18 months depending upon your prior coursework and preparation.  The on-site residency component is one-year.  The program begins in the spring and continues through the summer with education core curriculum coursework and the summer Teacher Residency community experience.  The full-time, co-teaching residency in a partner district school begins in August and continues one full-school year.
