Additional Admissions Requirements for the MAT in Secondary Science (6-12):

  • A passing score on the GACE Content Assessments in the subject area for which a candidate seeks certification from KSU (biology, chemistry, or physics) are required as part of the application packet prior to beginning clinical experience (in the fall semester).
  • Upon the review of a complete application by an MAT Admissions Committee, admission may be at one of two levels, MAT-Interest or Admission to Candidacy.
    • MAT-Interest: for individuals who possess a bachelor's degree in the teaching field area (e.g., chemistry, biology, or physics) or related field from an accredited institution, but who require additional teaching field area coursework to meet prerequisites and/or to achieve an adjusted GPA of 2.75 in courses related to the major. Once coursework is completed and the GACE Basic Skills Assessment and Content Assessments tests have been passed, students may apply for Admission to Candidacy.
    • Admission to Candidacy: for individuals who possess a bachelor's degree in the teaching field area (e.g., chemistry, biology, or physics) or a related field (e.g., environmental science, engineering, or geology) from an accredited institution, who have completed prerequisite coursework, who possess an adjusted GPA of 2.75 in courses related to the major, and who have passed or exempted the GACE Basic Skills Assessment tests.
