The M.A.T. program is designed for the applicant who has earned an undergraduate degree in English or a related subject area and now seeks initial state certification in English Education to teach in Georgia public schools, grades 7-12 and a master’s degree from the University of Georgia (which leads to T-5 certification). Students who have undergraduate degrees in areas other than English will be required to take courses that equal those of an undergraduate major in English (7 upper division courses) prior to being accepted.

The M.Ed. in English Education provides advanced professional preparation for educators interested in the teaching of English Language Arts in secondary schools. This program is designed for applicants who have initial certification (T-4). Courses for endorsements in ESOL, Reading, Gifted, or Educational Leadership may be included in the program of study.
