Master of Arts in Teaching - Academic Year

In just one year a SIT Master of Arts in Teaching student can be trained and prepared to teach.

SIT's Academic Year MAT programs are as unique as the interests of its students. Participants seeking the next level of professional qualification can explore ways of teaching and learning that are directly related to their own goals, and our teaching placements include universities, schools (K-12), and nonprofits. Students can further refine their work by enrolling in MAT Plus courses, such as Teacher Training, Language Teaching Management and Peace Education.

MAT internships are found worldwide. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) generalists choose the location that best serves them: from Bangladesh to Costa Rica, from Morocco to South Africa, and from Hungary to Thailand. Adult ESL (English as a Second Language) programs are found in Boston or New Hampshire. Students not only explore different regions and cultures, but they learn about the place of English in the lives of the language learners and, consequently, their own roles as language teachers.

MAT students can be licensed to teach in US public schools. The teaching license conferred by the the State of Vermont can be transferred to most states in the US and is a qualification for teaching in many other countries.
