*For courses SEC 510 - 524 and SEC 590 A – F, each student will choose a content area and take the corresponding course with the appropriate course number ONLY. These second-term courses may change campus locations and day of the week for some candidates. Since methods instructors are often practicing teachers, time restrictions, school district commitments, and or travel times are considered when selecting a location. **Students may register for these courses before admission. They must be completed prior to student teaching. To complete the M.A.T. degree, students must decide on a particular program area and complete 2 courses from that program area within 6 years of completing the first course in the M.A.T. program. Electives must be within one program area only - e.g. Special Education.
