The stackable structure of the MAT in History is ideal for high school and community college educators wanting to teach dual-credit courses, or for high school educators wanting to teach at the community college level. This program is designed to help you meet Higher Learning Commission dual-credit qualification standards. These standards require teachers wanting to teach dual-credit courses in history to hold either a master's degree in history or a master's degree in another discipline (such as education), plus at least 18 credit hours of discipline-specific graduate coursework.

• If you need both discipline-specific coursework and a master's degree, the MAT in History meets HLC standards. 
• If you already hold a master's degree in a discipline other than history, you can meet HLC standards by completing the  Graduate Certificate in History.

To earn the MAT in History, you must complete 30 credit hours.

Requirements are broken down as follows:

• Core course (3 credit hours) 
• Electives (15 credit hours)  
• Education component (12 credit hours)
