The Accelerated Master of Arts in Teaching (AMAT) option provides opportunities for qualified upperclass undergraduate students at JHU and at partnership universities to begin their master's degrees and teacher certifications prior to completing their bachelor's degrees. Students apply to the program following the completion of 60 undergraduate credits and after passing the Praxis I exams. If accepted, students work closely with an adviser to determine appropriate course selection and sequence. Upon the completion of their undergraduate program, students continue their master's degrees and complete the course work, internship, and portfolio through the FlexMAT option.
Interested students should contact the Department of Teacher Preparation as early as possible to develop an undergraduate program aligned with the content background required for initial teaching certification. Candidates for admission are interviewed by university faculty to assess their content knowledge and disposition toward teaching and may be required to submit letters of recommendation.
