The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program at the American Museum of Natural History
in New York City is a chance to make a difference. This teaching
fellowship combines coursework, mentoring, and real-world experience to
prepare Earth and Space science graduates for a rewarding career as
middle and high school teachers.
With a sole focus on preparing new Earth science teachers, the MAT program is a full-time, 15-month Master's program that takes place at the museum and in urban partner schools. We seek a student body with diverse life and career experience, and the application is open to all candidates meeting the eligibility requirements. All degree candidates will receive free tuition and books and a $30,000 living stipend. In return, candidates commit to teaching in a high-need school in New York State for four years.
We are currently accepting applicants for the class that will matriculate in June 2016. The application deadline is Monday, February 15th. We will hold an informational Webinar on January 26th, for those who wish to learn more about the program. RSVP to mat@amnh.org.
