Overview
Highlights
The program in Learning in Art and Design from Rhode Island School of Design interweaves theoretical concepts with scaffolded practical experiences, giving candidates opportunities to test out ideas in authentic learning environments throughout the year.
Our MAT is approved by the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and, as a result of the Interstate Compact, has reciprocity in at least 44 other states. It is, however, important for applicants to understand that while RISD awards the MAT degree and recommends its graduates for certification or licensure, the award of teacher certification is determined by individual states, each of which has its own specific requirements. Candidates must pass any teacher-certification test(s) required by individual states.
