Sponsored Post : Master of Arts in Teaching Degree Online from USC

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of USC. All opinions are 100% mine.

I was recently contacted by about USC's Master of Arts in Teaching degree program which is composed of flexible and interactive online courses taught in conjunction with concrete, local field based experience. I thought this might be of interest to some of you as online courses are built for the self motivated person who wants to be able to create their own schedule. MAT@USC is an accelerated program offered by the USC Rossier School of Education that allows current and aspiring educators to earn their MA in Teaching via online courses in as little as 12 months. For those of you that have to work while attending school or have children, this is a great chance to earn your masters degree with a more flexible school schedule from a highly distinguished institution!

USC has a 100-year history of educating teachers and is internationally renowned. US News and World Report has ranked USC's School of Education #9 among all private universities (and #22 out of all universities in the USA). This program is an excellent opportunity to become a member of the distinguished USC family and comes with all the privileges of a full USC student status, even if your coursework will be done primarily done online. Privileges include participation in USC graduation, a free lifetime Alumni Association membership, and the once in a lifetime chance to learn from and work with distinguished USC faculty who have contributed so much to modern education.

Some other benefits of the program include:

• A great tuition reimbursement program along with scholarships opportunities.

• MAT@USC received the 2010 award for "Best Practices Award for the Innovative Use of Technology" from the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE).

• Interactive video technology.

More information about the program is also available via the MAT@USC Student Blog where actual students in the program have posted their experiences. The first class of the MAT@USC program will be graduating this month! Congratulations!
