PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The MAT program provides talented college graduates with a challenging program of study within their academic discipline while preparing them for careers as secondary school teachers. Open to students with undergraduate majors in the fields of English, mathematics, social studies, and the sciences, the program combines graduate level work in the teaching field with education courses and a 27-week internship under the direction of highly effective mentor teachers in two local Durham public high schools. The 36-unit program takes one calendar year to complete, beginning during summer session II and ending in late June (summer session I) the following year.
