LA GRANDE, Ore. – سԹ will host a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program information session for prospective candidates interested in a 10-month, accelerated path to the classroom.
The session will be hosted by Kristin Johnson, MAT pre-admissions advisor, and Christina Thew, MAT program coordinator. Attendees will learn about the MAT program schedule, prerequisites, cost, and outcomes, with time for questions.
“The session will help prospective candidates decide whether the cohort-based MAT is the right fit,” Johnson said. “We will outline admission steps, time commitment, costs and how the program prepares graduates for licensure and teaching positions in Oregon schools.”
سԹ’s College of Education offers a full-time, accelerated MAT program that combines real classroom experience with the coursework needed to prepare for teaching. Students move through the program as part of a cohort over four consecutive terms, starting in summer and finishing the following spring. Hybrid classes make it possible for candidates to complete student teaching placements across Oregon while staying on track with the program.
MAT information session details
Date: Feb. 4, 2026
Time: Noon to 1 p.m.
Location: Zabel Hall 224, سԹ
Hosted by: Kristin Johnson and Christina Thew
“Participants will leave with a clear plan for next steps, what to expect week to week, and how the 10-month MAT is designed to move candidates from preparation to the classroom.”
The MAT program prepares candidates to teach in public or private schools at either the elementary or secondary level. Because the program is cohort-based, candidates begin together and progress through the full program as a group.
