Our Dual-Degree BS/MAT program allows you to gain the hands-on skills needed to thrive in an elementary, secondary, or special education classroom. This program enables you to seamlessly complete both your undergraduate and graduate studies in just five years. Our immersive, hands-on curriculum consists of classes, internships, and student teaching experiences to shape you as a leader in education.

First-year candidates: When you apply to Quinnipiac, please state that you are interested in becoming a teacher, or you want to explore your options to become a teacher. Once you indicate that teaching might be for you, our faculty and advisers will help you to choose the courses you need.

Current Quinnipiac student candidates: By the spring of your sophomore year, please contact the Office of Graduate Admissions to indicate you would like to learn more about becoming a teacher and complete the application. The School of Education faculty members review your grade point average (GPA) and will request an interview with you as part of your continuation in the dual-degree program.

Students in this program must complete all the requirements of the BS in Environmental Science and the MAT. The following table is a representative progression through those requirements. Students should work with their advisers on a plan that ensures their academic progression.
