Teacher Pathways
Teacher Pathways: Become a Teacher in 4+1
Through the Graduate School of Education and Counseling and Teacher Pathways, you could earn your BA plus your Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)—and licensure—in five years. You can apply to Teacher Pathways as an incoming, first-year, or second-year student and will be eligible to apply for early admission to the graduate school upon successful completion of the pathway.
While enrolled in the Teacher Pathways program, you will meet with your Teacher Pathways advisor and take undergraduate education courses with a social-justice focus. These courses are taught by graduate faculty and will introduce you to educational theory and practice. The Pathway includes practicum experiences in K-12 public school settings.
