The MAT Accelerated program is a fast-paced option for Winthrop students who began
education coursework as an undergraduate. MAT Accelerated students complete courses
required for teaching certification in the summer, fall, and spring. The accelerated pathway
requires recent Winthrop graduates to have a minor in Educational Studies and a bachelor's
degree in the fields of art, biology, chemistry, dance, educational studies, English,
French, history, mathematics, political science, psychology, Spanish, or theatre.
Application Deadline: February 15 for summer admission. This program only admits students one time per year, in the summer.
