36 credit hours, including 12 credit hours in a major
field and 6 credit hours in each of two minor fields.
The remaining 12 credit hours are for elective subjects.

requirements are fulfilled by taking 12 credit hours at
Indiana University Bloomington, either during one
semester or during summer sessions.
Everyone who receives the M.A.T. degree in social
studies must be certified to teach in Indiana schools. The
certification can be the result of one’s undergraduate
studies, or can be earned through the M.A.T. degree
program itself. In the latter case, the certification
requirements can be met by taking appropriate education
courses for the 12 credit hours of elective work allowed
within the program plus an additional 6 credit hours of
work in education (student teaching).
The M.A.T. degree in social studies is conferred by
Indiana University Bloomington, which establishes
admission and degree requirements. The program must
be initiated through Bloomington, but some course work
may be done at IU South Bend.

program should contact:
