Overview

This program is designed to meet the distinctive needs of both full-time students and students with jobs, including secondary school teachers (for whom our non-certification track may be particularly attractive).

Overview

The Master of Arts in Teaching of History from University of Illinois at Chicago combines most of the traditional MA curriculum with specialized classes in teaching methods. MAT students take many of the same courses required of regular MA and Ph.D. students, along with comprehensive final examinations. Areas of concentration include U.S. History, European History, and World (non-Western) History.

View the advising documents for the specific program requirements, for both certification and non-certification tracks. And before you apply, be sure to read our Suggestions for Writing a Successful MAT Application. However, the application process is the same as for the other graduate degrees in History (although you will have to mark "MAT").

The UIC Teaching of History program has been preparing secondary school history teachers for nearly four decades, graduating more than 1,000 prospective teachers since 1966. Many of our graduates are now teaching in the city of Chicago and its surrounding communities, confirming UIC’s long-standing urban mission as well as its wider appeal.
