Five-Year Integrated Bachelor and Master of Arts in Teaching Program (MAT) Requirements

Students will be able to complete a program of study leading to the conferral of a Bachelor's degree in their chosen field, along with a Minor in Education, which qualifies them to apply for the Chaminade Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program.

Note: Students must have a grade of B or higher in order to have any of the graduate courses waived. They also must have taken and passed EDUC-630.
