Joint Degree B.S. / M.A.T. Option

Posted by Admin On 10:30:00 AM
The joint B.S. / M.A.T. program is a partnership between Georgia Tech and Georgia State University. The program allows eligible undergraduates to take six hours (6) of graduate level coursework which apply towards an undergraduate degree at Tech and a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree at Georgia State. The program enables a student to start graduate school with six credit hours, which saves time and money. A Master of Arts in Teaching leads to certification to teach in the state of Georgia as well as a higher degree. Applicants can apply for early acceptance into a Georgia State M.A.T. program. http://www.preteaching.gatech.edu/node/32
