Senior students at Coastal Carolina University may take up to two courses during their senior year that can apply toward meeting MAT program requirements. Field experiences, a technology based student authoring program, an electronic portfolio, and passage of state licensing exams are all a part of this program. Students must have an overall 2.5 undergraduate GPA and a 2.75 GPA in the content area to be admitted to the program and must maintain a 3.0 thereafter.

MAT students have opportunities to become actively involved in action research and professional presentations in the field of education and are encouraged to become engaged in the university mentoring program. The program culminates in a sixty day internship in the public schools and a capstone presentation before a faculty committee.
