If I already have a teaching license, are the MSU Denver School of Education Master of Arts in Teaching programs right for me?

Our Master of Arts in Teaching programs include licensure preparation so we do not recommend that students who have completed teacher licensure programs and already have a teaching license apply to our programs.  However, if you work in the area of Special Education, we recommend considering our Certificate in Autism and Significant Support Needs.

What licensure areas options are offered in your Master of Arts in Teaching programs?

We offer the Master of Arts in Teaching in two options:

  • Elementary Education
  • Special Education (K-12 Generalist)

What grade levels can I teach with each licensure program?

Elementary Education: Kindergarten through 6th grade
Special Education: Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade

Can I start the MAT program in the summer?

No, students can only start the graduate classes in the fall or spring semesters. The only summer classes that MAT students can complete are the undergraduate pre-requisite classes.
