*For the courses SEC510-524 and SEC590 A-F, each student will choose a content area and take the corresponding course with the appropriate course number ONLY.
To complete the MAT, students must complete ESR514: Research in Action, SEC525: American Urban Education, and two courses from the following elective list within 6 years of completing the first course in the MAT program. Electives must be within one program area only - e.g. Special Education.
*Students taking the 5 semester hours of Reading electives will need one extra semester hour, which they can fulfill either through a 1-s.h. workshop or by taking a 1-s.h. course by arrangement with their RLL professor. If taking a Course by Arrangement, students will need to obtain signatures from their Reading professor, advisor, and program coordinator, after which they need to send the form to the Associate Dean in Wheeling.
**Students who take the 2 courses above from the Special Education program area, in addition to SPE 527, can apply for a Special Education approval from the state that is good for 3 years. If, in addition, they pass the LBSI test, students become eligible for a Special Education endorsement. For more information, contact Special Education administrative assistant Sandra Hilmert at SHilmert@nl.edu.
