The MA in English Education is designed for experienced, practicing teachers seeking to deepen expertise in English education, preparing graduates for leadership roles such as department chairs, curriculum specialists, or supervisor positions. The MAT in English Education is a credentialing graduate degree intended for students with a bachelor's in English (or a closely related field), providing both advanced pedagogical training and eligibility for state licensure to teach secondary English/Language Arts (grades 5–12). The MAT includes comprehensive coursework in English language, literature, literacy development, and extensive student teaching under licensure preparation. The MA does not confer initial teaching licensure; the MAT does. 来源： https://education.uiowa.edu/ba-english-education
