Midway University is proud to announce the launch of its new 教学艺术硕士（MAT）学位课程, designed for individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree and want to become certified teachers in Kentucky’s P–12 classrooms.

This graduate program provides both traditional and alternative pathways to teacher certification, giving candidates the flexibility to pursue their teaching credentials through either a full-time student teaching experience or while already employed in a certified teaching role under Kentucky’s Option 6 Alternative Route.

“This program offers a powerful opportunity for professionals who are passionate about education but may not have followed a traditional path to teaching,” said Dr. Ellen Bloomfield, Dean, School of Arts & Sciences at Midway University. “Through our MAT program, students can immediately make a difference in classrooms across Kentucky while completing a graduate degree that leads to full certification and Rank II status.”

MAT课程以在线形式提供，以满足在职成年人的需求。 学生将参与教学培训，实地经验和指导，以发展有效的课堂技巧和领导能力。

该计划准备候选人在几个高需求领域的初步各大博彩论坛，包括：

• P–12 Certification: Agriculture Education, Spanish Teaching
• 中级及二级证书：生物、商业教育、化学、英语语言艺术、数学、社会研究
• 额外认可：特殊教育的机会

Midway’s Option 6 Alternative Route 允许获得全职教学职位的合格候选人在完成MAT课程后立即开始教学。 These candidates receive dual mentorship—from both a school-based mentor and a Midway University faculty mentor—to ensure professional growth and classroom success.

“The MAT reflects Midway’s mission to provide flexible, career-ready education that meets Kentucky’s workforce needs,” said Dr. Tim Campbell, Vice President of Academic Affairs. “Our Department of Teacher Education continues to lead in developing innovative programs that prepare effective, confident educators.”
