Loyola University New Orleans is proud to offer its Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. The university has designed this degree program so that individuals can obtain a teacher certification at the middle school (Grades 4-8) and secondary level (Grades 6-12) and a graduate degree at the same time.

The program is designed with working professionals in mind.  Some other courses will be "hybrid" and take place in a secondary school classroom. Individuals currently teaching may use their own classroom at their place of employment for course-related activities.
