Concentration in Teaching, Single Subject<\/h3>\n

A Master of Arts in Teaching Pathway<\/h4>\n

The University of La Verne offers an undergraduate-to-master\u2019s in teaching pathways, which includes single subject credentialing. These pathways are restricted to Majors that have this listed concentration.

This is a direct education pathway to completing a specialized Master of Arts in Teaching, MAT, at the University of La Verne which includes a Single Subject Teaching Credential. The 4+1 programs have been designed for completion in 5 years. Any deviation from the outlined education plan, including extensions, may have financial aid implications and should be considered with the support of an advisor. An application for consideration of this education pathway is mandatory.<\/p>\n

Upper division coursework is not modified for these integrated programs, students will be following the MAT course sequence created for all credential candidates in the LaFetra College of Education teaching programs. This includes prerequisites for course enrollment and completion of state mandated assessments in the required time sequence.<\/p>\n
