Print VersionMaster of Arts in Teaching (MAT)
The Johns Hopkins Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program prepares candidates for initial certification in Maryland as elementary or secondary teachers. Offering part- and full-time options, the degree integrates the content and classroom experience required for certification and for effective teaching. The MAT is designed for recent graduates of bachelor or graduate degree programs in appropriate content areas, as well as mid-career professionals who desire to make a change into teaching.
There are four program options of the MAT program, each designed to accommodate your scheduling needs. Regardless of the format, all candidates fulfill the same general requirements for the MAT program. The formats include:
- The Flexible Master of Arts in Teaching (FlexMAT) provides part-time opportunities to become a teacher.
- The School Immersion Master of Arts in Teaching (SIMAT) is a full-time, 12-month option that includes a full-year internship.
- The Professional Immersion Master of Arts in Teaching (ProMAT) is a partnership program between Johns Hopkins University and local school districts. The program enables candidates to complete the MAT degree while teaching. Find out more about ProMAT programs in Baltimore City or Montgomery County.
- The Accelerated Master of Arts in Teaching (AMAT) program provides opportunities for qualified undergraduate students to begin their master's degree and teacher certification following their junior year.
