College to Launch One-Year Master’s in Teaching
Here’s some good news for people with a love of learning and an interest in sharing that passion in a classroom. Soon, they’ll be able to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Elementary Education in one year.
Beginning this summer, the University of Charleston, South Carolina at the College of Charleston will offer an accelerated, one-year master’s degree in elementary education. According to Tracey Hunter-Doniger, who directs the Master of Arts in Teaching program, the move to an accelerated format is an important opportunity for the College’s graduate school.
“We are very excited about this accelerated elementary program,” says Hunter-Doniger, assistant professor of creative arts in education. “It is designed for people who want to become teachers and have a bachelor’s degree in any area.”
