About Master of Spanish

The Department of Modern Languages and Classics offers a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Spanish.

The MAT in Spanish (30 credits) has been redesigned with the collaboration of the campuses of the University of Maine System specifically to meet the needs of Maine's schools.
Candidates take seven to eight courses (21-24 credits) in language, literature, culture and linguistics in the target language, one course in language pedagogy (MLC 466/566) and one course on teaching the exceptional student in English (SED 500).
An oral exam and a professional teaching portfolio which illustrates the candidate's familiarity with Maine's teaching standards and his/her readiness to teach a second language in the K-12 classroom are the final requirements for both degrees.

Practicing teachers who are already certified to teach Spanish may opt to take additional courses in their target language, or they may resume the study of a second foreign language at the advanced (400 or 500) level in lieu of taking courses leading to certification.

This program will prepare students to be eligible for licensure within the State of Maine.
