Admissions Requirements

  • Admission to the Templeton Master of Arts in Teaching requires a minimum 3.0 undergraduate GPA, with a 3.5 GPA preferred.
  • All applications are reviewed by Templeton faculty and staff and are judged on the following criteria: 1) Passion for classical education, 2) Promise as a skilled teacher, and 3) academic excellence.
  • The MAT in Classical Education is a cohort-based program with a maximum capacity of 25 students. Because space is limited, fulfilling admissions requirements is no guarantee of acceptance. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so it is advantageous to apply early before spots are filled.

Cost, Scholarships & Aid

An MAT from the Templeton Honors College will benefit not only the individual teacher and his or her classroom, but also the school at large.

  • Current tuition rates are $450 / credit hour.
  • For students staying on campus during the summer residencies, additional room and board charges will apply.

  • Many states have grants available for teachers continuing their education that can be applied for separately.
  • Many current students receive at least partial funding from their schools. We encourage teachers to speak with their Headmasters or Deans about investing in their ongoing education.
