Oregon State University - Cascades Campus has extended the application deadline to Monday, February 15, 2010 for applications for its Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in early childhood and elementary education, and in middle and high school education. 

OSU-Cascades’ MAT programs are full-time and follow a cohort model with students taking the same classes at the same time.  All classes are held at the Bend campus. 

Both programs include ESOL training and student teaching experience in local public schools.  The early childhood and elementary program is a 14-month program. The secondary teaching program offers endorsements in either language arts or social studies and is a 12-month program.   In addition to earning a Master of Arts in Teaching, graduates will acquire an Oregon Initial I teaching license.  The OSU-Cascades MAT is nationally accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. 

The MAT classes begin in June 2010 and prerequisite courses are offered throughout the 2009-10 academic year.
