Internships for teacher candidates pursuing a General Education certification are completed in public Professional Development Schools (PDS) in partnership with the university. The Special Education tracks are only available as Part-Time options. Participation in the Part-Time option requires candidates to complete all MAT program requirements within seven years. Both options require teacher candidates to complete substantial daytime internship hours (typically 2 days per week) during their enrollment in EDUC 797 and full-time internship during EDUC 798. The Part-Time option allows teacher candidates to design a course of study to fit their schedules (generally one, two or three evening courses per term). This program encompasses a summer, fall and extended spring term. The One-Year option requires a full-time commitment to courses and internship. Teacher candidates with a concentration in General Education have two options for program completion: One-Year (full-time) and Part-Time. All world language teacher candidates must pass the ACTFL WPT at the Advanced Low level as an MSDE certification requirement. Teacher candidates pursuing certification as French or Spanish world language teachers must provide a passing score on the ACTFL OPI exam at the Advanced Low level prior to beginning EDUC 798. In addition to completing the MAT program requirements, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) requires that all applicants for state teaching licensure successfully complete the required content exams for their respective area. A student may also choose a Special Education track in Infant/Primary, Elementary/Middle or Secondary Education.

A graduate of this program will be eligible for initial teacher certification within the General Education concentrations of Early Childhood (ECED), Elementary (ELED) or Secondary Education (SCED). It is well suited to recent graduates and to those seeking to change careers.
