The Master of Arts in Teaching program (M.A.T.) seeks recent graduates who have majors in the sciences, humanities, or social sciences, and who have few, if any, formal courses in education. The M.A.T. provides students with graduate study in their own field, preparation in education, and a sustained clinical experience, leading to teacher certification. Washington University offers graduate secondary teacher certification programs in the following areas: Art, Classics (Latin), Dance, English, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages (K-12) (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Russian), Unified Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics), and Social Studies (usually History or Political Science major). Art, Dance and foreign languages are K-12 certifications, all other areas are for grades 9-12. The M.A.T. student must do graduate level study in an academic discipline. Some of this study may fill in gaps in the student's undergraduate major, but there is also the opportunity to build upon special interests developed during undergraduate study.
