Do you want to be a teacher? Concordia can get you there. Through our Master of Arts in Teaching program, you will learn the necessary strategies and skills that make Concordia graduates among the most-desired teachers in Oregon.

Concordia offers its part-time MAT in Medford to help meet the educational needs of southern Oregonians who want to become teachers. By earning your degree locally in Medford you’ll receive the same quality education as on our Portland campus without having to give up work or family life. And you’ll be trained by real-life teachers with real classroom experience.

The part-time MAT program begins every September and is completed in 22 months, with students attending classes in the evenings, a few Saturdays, and completing some online courses. Classes are currently held at McLoughlin Middle School.

Students in the MAT program are prepared to teach at two levels (preferred and supplemental) of authorization:

• Early Childhood (ECE): grades preschool-4
• Elementary (ELE): grades 3-8
• Middle Level (ML): grades 5-9
• High School (HS): grades 7-12

Endorsements in the following areas are also available: art; biology; business; chemistry; health; drama; integrated science; language arts (English); marketing; mathematics (basic); mathematics (advanced); music; physical education; physics; social studies; Spanish; and Speech.

Concordia’s teacher education program is approved by the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC); Concordia University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and University.
