Overview

What is the MAT?

The Teaching Spanish program of Rutgers University is especially designed for teachers of Spanish working in the unique, bilingual conditions of the South Jersey area.

We have a wide range of courses (growing in number every year) to cover all your interests and a 100% employment rate.

Why Pursue the MAT?

Demand for Spanish teachers in K-12 systems and two-year colleges in our region is strong and appears likely to grow, given the World Languages requirements in New Jersey schools and the strong presence of Spanish speakers in our area.

The MAT at Rutgers-Camden is a program designed in collaboration with the Teaching Preparation Program that allows both undergraduate and graduate students to develop their pedagogical skills to succeed and excel in their educative profession here, in the unique cultural conditions of South Jersey.
