ABOUT THE PROGRAM
All candidates participating in the Master of Arts in Teaching program will experience some degree of transformation. However, it is expected that each brings a preexisting foundation of knowledge, depth of content, and life experience into their graduate level education. Furthermore, all candidates will complete introductory, practice, and demonstration assignments with their best efforts to help develop the scholar-practitioner graduate culture at Jessup. While engaged in their studies, candidates will thrive spiritually, receive a quality liberal arts education, and develop highly employable skills. This program is approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
