BFA/MAT (Master of Art in Teaching)

The BFA/MAT qualifies MassArt BFA students who are not Art Education majors to apply for the Massachusetts initial teaching license. After three years of teaching with the initial teaching license, graduates may apply for a Massachusetts professional teaching license without further coursework. 

MassArt BFA students who are not majors in Art Education may apply for the BFA/MAT in the Spring term of their senior year after completing three required undergraduate courses in Art Education. Accepted candidates begin their graduate work in the summer that immediately follows their BFA graduation.
