Where to get a M.A.T. in visual arts?

December 22, 2004 5:30 PM

Where can I find a comprehensive list of US schools offering an M.A.T. in visual arts? Also, will it make things difficult if I receive my M.A.T. in a state I do not intend to teach in?

You don't have to get a degree in the state in which you want to teach, but your degree program does have to meet the criteria that are set up by the state in which you want to teach. Contact the state office or board of higher education and ask them where you can find those criteria. Most accredited programs will meet most states' requirements.

You'll also probably have to do a certification exam in whatever state you want to teach in.
