MAT Guaranteed Admission
The Pacific University Master of Arts in Teaching Program participates in Pacific’s Guaranteed Grad School Admission Program. Students may apply for the MAT Program as soon as they commit to Pacific as undergraduates or transfer students, or during their junior year.
Students who are admitted through the Guaranteed Grad School Admissions Program are guaranteed a place in Pacific’s MAT program if they:
- Complete a bachelor’s degree, in good standing, at Pacific with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0;
- Provide a current CV or resume with two references who have seen them work or interact with preschool through 12th-grade aged children.
Students seeking specific endorsements must have completed a depth and breadth of coursework during their undergraduate degree program that will enable them to demonstrate their content knowledge and/or pass the appropriate subject test(s) required by the Teaching Standards & Practices Commission. Work with your College of Education advisor for details.
Students who complete these requirements may enroll in the MAT program immediately following graduation. Students may also take a break between graduation and beginning grad school, but they must enroll within three years of completing their bachelor’s degree.
After receiving dual admission and completing these requirements, students will have a place held for them in Pacific’s MAT program.
