Rhode Island College’s MAT in Elementary Education program allows you to earn a master’s degree with eligibility for certification in one year.
The program is rooted in the values of equity, diversity, advocacy and is aligned with the social justice mission of the Feinstein School of Education and Human Development. Through reading, discussing, writing, thinking…, prospective teachers learn about, and begin to develop their own theories and practices, guided and informed by RIC teacher educators in partnership with teachers and children in classrooms.
Our greatest strength is the diverse perspectives that our MAT applicants bring to this program. They weave their lives lived and visions for what is possible as they evolve and develop into thoughtful, forward-thinking educators who will lead our future: our children.
