Master of Arts in Teaching in Business Education

The M.A.T. program 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.

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, the program is terminated.

The I.M.A. degree for secondary-school teachers is designed for college graduates who already hold a professional certificate in the teaching field in which they wish to earn the master's degree or who are academically certifiable by virtue of course work previously completed. Upon successful completion of the I.M.A. degree program, recipients will be eligible for a South Carolina Class I certificate in the teaching area. Major emphasis in this program is placed on course work in the teaching area.

The program consists of 33 semester hours of graduate courses distributed as follows:

Professional education component (9 hours)
Teaching area(s) component (21 hours)
An approved elective (3 hours--This will be a course that addresses current issues and concerns of teachers.)

The professional education component requires an introductory, graduate-level course in educational research; a specialized course in advanced study of teaching in a field that is research centered; and an advanced course in educational psychology, research and measurement, principles of curriculum construction, supervision of instruction, advanced readings in secondary education, or a course in selected topics.

A final comprehensive exam, consisting of written and oral components, will be administered by three faculty members appointed by the director of the program. If the candidate fails the examination twice, the program is terminated.

While individual programs are similar in structure, there is sufficient flexibility to meet student needs in teaching areas and to develop professional knowledge.
