Arabic (MAT) | Master’s Degree

Middlebury College

Students must have a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from a regionally accredited institution and graduate-level proficiency in Arabic to be eligible. Applicants generally should have studied Arabic for four years or longer, unless you are a native speaker.

Description

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) is an 18-month master’s degree leading to licensure in teaching Arabic designed for working professionals, who can enroll for the summer in person and work part-time online during the academic year. MAT students join their Language School for two 6-week summers in Vermont (in Arabic) and participate fully in cocurricular activities, from clubs and performances to guest speakers and films to dances and athletics with the immersion and graduate students. During the academic year between the summers, students take four 7-week asynchronous courses in English together with MAT students from different languages. In the final fall, students complete a 13-week teaching practicum in their preferred state while completing a final 15-week course. This 15-week course is designed to resource students as they do their student teaching and guide them in completing their licensure portfolio.
