Centenary College offers three graduate programs, a Master of Arts in Teaching, a Master of Art in Educational Leadership, and a Master of Business Administration. The College welcomes adult learners with a vibrant campus community and flexible class schedules.
Master of Arts in Teaching
The Centenary M.A.T. program is designed for aspiring educators who already have a non-education undergraduate degree and wish to become certified teachers in Louisiana and earn a Master's degree with certification to teach elementary, secondary, and K-12 choral music education.
Centenary's Education Aspire 4+1 program allows exceptional undergraduates in non-education majors to begin the M.A.T. program while still working on their undergraduate degree. Education Aspire 4+1 participants finish the M.A.T within one year of graduation while working full-time as a teacher with a salary and benefits. Education Aspire gives students a jump on graduate coursework and a smooth transition to a rewarding career in education.
