Lawrence Riccio, Professor of Education Description In conjunction with the School of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences offers Weekday and Weekend College students two undergraduate programs: a minor in education and a Bachelor of Arts/Master of Arts in Teaching (B.A./M.A.T.) Program. Students are expected to pursue teacher preparation programs within the context of a liberal arts education and must major in the liberal arts through the College of Arts and Sciences while they complete a structured and sequenced 15-17 credit minor course of study in the School of Education. For students who enter the B.A./M.A.T. Program, a further 30 credits of graduate course work is required (other undergraduate course work may also be necessary to meet certification requirements). Trinity's teacher education program culminating in the M.A.T. is fully accredited by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education Certification (NASDTEC), which carries reciprocal certification agreements with 35 states affiliated with the Interstate Reciprocity Agreement. Teacher certification typically requires a GPA of 3.0 in course work in the teacher's area of specialization. Detailed program information and certification requirements can be found in the School of Education section of this catalog.
