New education programs (MAT and Certificate)

Join me at NC State College of Education for a new online Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program in Multilingual Education. The program is 30 credit hours of graduate coursework. In addition to the core MAT courses, students will take the following new courses:

  1. Introduction to Multilingual Education (fall)

  2. Multilingual Teaching and Learning Methods (spring)

  3. Assessments for Multilingual Learners (summer)

  4. Optional courses: International and Comparative Education (spring); Study Abroad in the Republic of Ireland (every other spring/summer beginning May, 2024); Seminar in Im/Migration or Seminar in Rural Education.

We also offer a stand-alone four course (12 credit-hour) Certificate in Multilingual Education that includes Linguistics for Professionals. With that background coursework, students are prepared to take the Praxis 2 ESL test for an ESL endorsement in the State of North Carolina.
