Eastern Oregon State College

What you'll study

The MAT blends sustained, full-time student teaching with academic preparation in teaching methods and professional practice. Course materials, a program handbook, and term-by-term guides (Year at a Glance) support candidate progress. Specific course checksheets and the Academic Catalog outline the program curriculum.

Entry requirements

Admission follows a two-step process: complete the program prerequisites for your pathway (Elementary — Multiple Subject prerequisites; or Secondary — Single Subject Area prerequisites), then submit the MAT application. The program uses a cohort model, so applicants must begin in August and progress with their cohort. Application deadlines include an early-bird deadline of March 1 and a final deadline of June 1. For application questions, contacts listed include Janet Frye (MAT Admissions Facilitator) and Kristin Johnson (MAT Pre-Admissions Advisor).

Career prospects

The MAT prepares graduates for teaching positions in public or private schools at the elementary or secondary level. Successful completers move into full-time classroom teaching supported by the year-long practical experience the program provides.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

While specific scholarships or funding items are not listed on the program page, applicants should review the MAT program materials and EOU financial aid resources for available funding, and contact admissions/advising staff for guidance on tuition support and external scholarship opportunities.
