At Loyola, we take a holistic approach to reviewing each applicant鈥檚 admission application, and GPA is just one of several factors considered. A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 is required for unconditional admission to the program. Applicants with a GPA below 3.0 may still be considered for probationary admission. 

No, the MAT program does not require applicants to submit test scores as part of the application.

A Professional Growth Experience (PGE) is available for students who are full-time teachers of record in the licensure area in which they are seeking teacher licensure and who teach within a designated commuting time (60 minutes/1 hour) from the Baltimore campus. The supervised Professional Growth Experience occurs within your current teaching position over the course of two semesters. There is a required seminar for both PGE I and PGE II.鈥�

The Master of Arts in Teaching leads to initial teacher licensure. We welcome current teachers who are not MSDE elementary or secondary licensed. However, due to the design of our program, we do not exempt individuals from the internship, as it is a state and program requirement.

Yes, please contact education@loyola.edu, and a staff member will connect you with a current student or alum.  

No, it is not possible to obtain only teacher licensure. Candidates of our program will obtain teacher licensure and a master鈥檚 degree. 

Elementary 

The elementary education program allows an undergraduate major in any area, including but not limited to one of the four content areas- mathematics, science, English, or social studies (or in a closely related area). Prerequisites for the elementary education licensure track may include: 

• English: 9 credits, including one English literature course
• Math: 9 credits, including one statistics course
• Social Studies:  9 credits, including one US history course
• Science: 10 credits, including one laboratory course 

It is highly recommended to have transcripts evaluated prior to officially applying to the MAT program. Please email a copy (unofficial copy is acceptable) of your transcripts to mat@loyola.edu and indicate the specific licensure area you are interested in pursuing in the MAT program.  

Secondary  

The secondary program requires an undergraduate major (or 24 sufficient credits) in the content area in which the aspiring teacher is seeking licensure. 

It is highly recommended to have your transcripts evaluated prior to officially applying to the MAT program. Please email a copy (unofficial copy is acceptable) of your transcripts to mat@loyola.edu and indicate the specific licensure area you are interested in pursuing in the MAT program.

Loyola鈥檚 Elementary Licensure program requires 39 credits. 

Loyola's Secondary Licensure program requires 34 credits. 

The full-time, one-year MAT candidates can complete the program in 11 months. 

Part-time MAT candidates can complete the program within 1.5 to 5 years.

Candidates in the full-time program cannot work full-time due to the intensity of the program.  It is suggested that students limit outside work to 10 hours per week or less.  

Part-time candidates can typically work during the program. However, during Internship I, candidates must be able to attend the internship 2 full days/week during the school day. 

During Internship II, candidates will attend the internship full-time (5 days per week) according to the schedule of the local school system in which they are placed.  

Most classes are offered at 4:30 p.m. (4:15 p.m. in the summer) or 7:05 p.m.

MAT classes are held online  via Zoom as live, synchronous sessions. This means students will meet online with their professor and classmates at scheduled dates/times. The internship requirements are in-person. 

Yes, candidates can take this program part-time and can apply for a fall, spring, or summer start term.  To be eligible for federal financial aid, you must be enrolled for at least 6 credits per term (fall and spring) or 3 credits (summer). 

Yes, the full-time candidates begin in the summer and complete the program in May of the following year.  Candidates for the full-time, one-year program must apply for the summer start term. 

• The part-time program includes two 20-hour field experiences designed to provide candidates with exposure to students/classrooms in school settings prior to the internship. These experiences occur during school hours over two semesters. 

• The full-time program requires some field work during the summer semester, with two semesters of clinical work in the fall and spring. 

Candidates participate in a year-long internship. They attend the internship 2 days per week in the fall semester and full-time (typically 5 days per week) in the spring semester, according to the schedule of the school site.

No, you are not required to find your own field placements. Loyola鈥檚 Coordinator of Clinical Experiences will find a placement for your clinical experiences.

Teacher candidates are placed in a wide range of settings, including urban, suburban, public, private, and alternative schools. We currently have partnerships in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, and Baltimore City.
