BA/MAT
Notre Dame of Maryland University enables a full-time student to complete the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Teaching degrees and to fulfill state certification requirements within four or five years. For the Elementary Education option, students complete the Liberal Studies Major for their baccalaureate degree and the Master of Arts in Teaching in Elementary Education in the final year. (See Liberal Studies program listings for a description of the liberal arts Major.)
For the Secondary Education option, students complete a Major in an academic discipline for their bachelor's degree and the Master of Arts in Teaching in the final year.
If a student wishes to pursue the four-year B.A./M.A.T. option, she must meet with the advisor of the School of Education at the time of entrance or before beginning the second semester of the first year to plan her Program of Study appropriately. In the five-year option, the student meets with the chair in the second semester of the sophomore year.
