Relay’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program gives you the opportunity to earn your graduate degree and the credentials you need to launch or advance your career. Our MAT program has options for completing an apprentice year, earning a teaching certification, completing a special education certification, or completing your master’s degree only, so you can choose the path that meets your needs. This program adds the Special Education Certification curriculum to the traditional MAT coursework, allowing new and experienced educators to complete their graduate degree and special education certifications simultaneously. The Special Education Certification program provides a foundation for teachers to support a wide range of learners and qualifies them to pursue roles available to special educators.
