The Early Childhood Program offers a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree for students who are interested in PK-3 licensure and currently hold a baccalaureate degree.

Students who wish to seek initial licensure in Early Childhood Education or who already have a valid teaching license and desire to pursue a Masters degree in education should contact the graduate coordinator of Early Childhood Education or the coordinator of another program of interest. Students may wish to consider a concentration in educational leadership (school administration), educational technology, mathematics education, reading education, or special education.
