Western Kentucky University offers an alternative route to teacher certification training and the opportunity to earn a Master of Arts in Education Degree through their 30-hour programs. The target participants for this program will be (1) mid-career professionals from various fields who possess strong subject-matter skills and (2) recent college graduates with outstanding academic records and baccalaureate degrees in fields other than education. Though the ARTC/MAE program will be open to participants seeking certification in many content areas, those who seek certification in high-need fields such as mathematics, science, foreign language, and exceptional education will be particularly recruited.
