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.
- The MAT comprises 30 credits.
- Current tuition rates are $450 / credit hour.
- For students staying on campus during the summer residencies, additional room and board charges will apply.
- Information on financial aid can be found here. More information and contact details for Eastern’s Financial Aid office can be found on their website.
- 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.
