The M.A.T. in Business Education consists of 30 semester hours of graduate credit in approved courses. The program requires 6-15 credit hours in professional education and 15-24 hours in the teaching area. Other requirements include a methods course in teaching business education, a teaching internship, a middle- and high-school teaching seminar, and student teaching. In addition, certification deficiencies not met by the M.A.T. degree program must be removed. Should undergraduate or certification deficiencies exist, the student will be advised accordingly when an advisor completes a transcript evaluation.

The student’s program must be approved by a committee of three faculty members representing both the College of Education and the College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management. This committee will administer a final comprehensive examination consisting of written and oral components. If a student fails the examination twice, s/he is ineligible to continue in the program.
