*Courses for which the candidate has appropriate undergraduate experience can be waived with prior approval and a minimum of 30 credits at the graduate level.
**Additional hours may be required to meet AREA-specific requirements based on experience and coursework. Content area courses must be completed in the area in which the graduate candidate is seeking certification. Each area of specialization has completely different content area preparation. Each individual teacher candidate will have different required content area preparation based on what requirements have been satisfied at the undergraduate or graduate level prior to acceptance into the MAT program. Transcripts will be reviewed by the program areas and content area course deficiencies will be addressed by requiring students to take content area courses at the graduate or undergraduate level.
