Graduate Student Handbook
Please open and read the Graduate Student Handbook(pdf). It contains a detailed description of the MATL program organization including information about enrollment and online learning, finanical aid and assistanships, transfer course work and dual emphases, and most importantly graduation requirements with a description of the final portfolio assessment. All MATL students are responsible for knowing the information contained in the Handbook. Prospective students will also find the Handbook a valuable tool in better understanding whether the MATL program is right for them.
