Have you considered a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree from UMGC?

You may want to! The Master of Arts in Teaching Program at UMGC will prepare you for secondary teaching certification—and you can take two of the graduate courses while you’re completing your undergraduate course work; the units count towards both your BA and MAT.

An articulation agreement between UMGC's Undergraduate School and Graduate School allows eligible students who complete their undergraduate degree at UMGC to reduce their total coursework for the graduate program by 12 credits (two courses) and complete both degrees with a total of 138 credits of coursework.

There is some eligibility criteria, so for further information, visit http://www.umgc.edu/academic-programs/masters-degrees/teaching.cfm. For information specific to secondary teaching certification in English, scroll to “Fast Track Your Degree” and then see “English Bachelor’s Degree to Master of Arts in Teaching.”
