Duke University's Master of Arts in Teaching program is an accelerated teacher preparation and licensure program that prepares candidates to enter classrooms as culturally responsive educators equipped with the skills and content knowledge needed to support the learning of all students.

This 12-month program provides pedagogical expertise, a 27-week internship and prepares candidates for a North Carolina initial teaching license in:

  • Secondary English Education

  • Secondary Social Studies Education

  • Secondary Science Education

  • Secondary Math Education

To earn the Master of Arts in Teaching degree, a candidate must have an undergraduate degree in that field or in a field closely related to the selected licensure content area.

Through graduate coursework and intensive clinical experience, teacher candidates develop skills and content knowledge to equip them as effective culturally responsive educators.
