Special Education General Curriculum (P-12)

Piedmont College’s Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) degree programs, with a major in Special Education General Curriculum for grades P-12, allow for multiple paths to both advanced (M.A.) and initial certification (M.A.T.). Both the M.A. and M.A.T programs are designed to meet the needs of candidates with a degree in education and candidates with a bachelor’s degree other than education seeking initial certification and lead to recommendation for a Georgia level 5 certificate.

To meet students’ professional goals, the M.A. and M.A.T. programs are designed to link theory and practice through a combination of course work, research, and applied field experiences. The candidate’s program is based on transcript review, previous work experience, and the requirements of Piedmont College, and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.
