New Tuition Rates

Posted in: Uncategorized on May 22, 2013
The rate for an MAT class now is a flat $240 per credit hour with no fees. ONLY the MAT courses will get the tuition discount.  'Content' class (i.e., the methods class or classes you take to reach the 30 hours for secondary licensure) may be at a higher price.

New Licensure Requirement

Posted in: Uncategorized on May 7, 2013
If you are interning in the fall and/or seeking your provisional license over the summer, you need to carefully read this email....
As happens often in teacher licensure, a new requirement has been added that affects YOUR license. Note that this requirement was mandated by the 2013 Arkansas Legislature and is effective immediately.  That means that you must meet this new requirement before we can recommend you for a license.
No new licenses will be issued unless that applicant has completed professional development in suicide prevention.  The professional development is available on the Arkansas IDEAS portal (where many of you completed your child maltreatment training and directions are already on the MAT website).

Special Notice
