Master of Arts in Teaching science

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. Prospective students are encouraged to attend an on-site Open House on December 6th or January 10th. We will also hold an informational Webinar in January, for those unable to come to the Museum. RSVP to mat@amnh.org.
