While designed for graduates of the Gallaudet university undergraduate programs in Educations, applicants with an NCATE accredited Bachelor's Degree in Education in Early Childhood Education, Elementary and/or Secondary Education from other universities may also qualify. The MAT: ASL/English Bilingual Deaf Education Program emphasizes the equal importance of ASL and English in the classroom, in the school, in the community, and in society in general.
The requirements for the MAT: ASL/English Bilingual Deaf Education Program can be completed in one calendar year (including summer) after completion of a Bachelor's Degree in Education. Candidates in the program will major in Deaf Education at the elementary (K to 8th grade) or secondary (junior and senior high school) level. Graduates are qualified to accept teaching positions in residential, day school programs, and in self-contained, departmentalized, and mainstreamed settings. The course of study leads to state licensure in education of deaf and hard of hearing students and to Council on Education of the Deaf (CED) certification in elementary or secondary education.
