Master of Arts in Teaching

Montclair State University’s Teacher Education Program is one of the most highly regarded teacher preparation programs in the country. It has been consistently recognized both nationally and internationally for its unique features, including its structure, partnerships and curricular emphases. The program is considered a model for other colleges and universities and has continuously been accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) since 1954. The mission of our program is to empower our graduates with the knowledge, expertise and professional skills needed to become outstanding beginning teachers. The program’s professional course sequence and clinical field experiences emphasize teaching for critical thinking and preparing P-12 students to participate as citizens in a democracy.

Due to certification requirements, F-1 visa holders are not eligible for Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs.
