Bachelor of Arts/ Master of Arts in Teaching - Education and Teaching Certification

The University of Chicago Urban Teacher Education Program (UChicago UTEP) is a two-year master's degree program with post-graduation supports. Through UChicago UTEP, candidates receive a master of arts in teaching (MAT) degree and Illinois teaching certification. There are two certification pathways, Elementary (grades 16) and Middle Grades (58). The two pathways meet Illinois's new licensure structure and standards for teaching: (1) all core subjects in self-contained elementary grades 16, and (2) specific core subjects in departmentalized middle grades 58. UChicago UTEP offers a joint BA/MAT program for qualified fourth-year College students. All BA/MAT students participate in all aspects of UChicago UTEP alongside MAT students throughout the two years of the program. Through the BA/MAT program, fourth-year undergraduate students complete their BA while also completing the first year (Foundations Year) of the MAT program. Upon completion of the BA degree and the first year of the MAT program (Foundations Year), students enter the Residency Year of the program as full MAT students.
