These .T. programs are ordinarily completed within one academic year and two summer semesters, but candidates may choose to extend their studies and student teaching for a longer time period. The program requires completion of ten to twelve course credits. Advisors work with candidates to ensure that their coursework meets all the requirements for Massachusetts licensure. Between two and four of the required courses must be in the academic field in which licensure is sought. Eight of the required course credits are in education, including field-based experiences.

Upon matriculation into graduate study, each M.A.T. candidate will be assigned a faculty advisor in the Department of Education and a faculty advisor in the academic department representing the subject area for which licensure is sought. Questions about meeting the Subject Matter Knowledge requirement are addressed through meetings with these advisors.
