Graduate Teacher Certification Programs – Master of Arts in Teaching

"The MAT program at Rutgers has given me the freedom to pursue my teaching career with the flexibility I need. I feel that I am well prepared for my successful transition into the classroom and I am excited for the future."

Angela Masson, Program Graduate

A Program Built For You.

We’ve created our MAT program to give students the ability to tailor the program to best fit their needs:

With the U.S. education system dealing with a growing shortage of teachers, the critical demand for certified and qualified teachers continues to grow.

Our advisors will help you build a course schedule to fit your life, and students can complete the program in as little as three semesters.
MAT courses are offered on weekday evenings after 4 p.m. and online to accommodate busy professionals.
Students get to stay with the same class through their entire student teaching experience, allowing them to holistically understand the development and impact of teaching on the class, as well as cultivate relationships with their teaching mentors.
Students can add a Teacher of Students with Disabilities (Special Education) certificate as a dual program to the initial concentration.
Current undergraduates at Rutgers–Camden can enroll in an Accelerated Degree Program option that allows them to earn credits towards their BA and MAT at the same time, saving time and money.
