Master of Arts with Certification (MAC): Elementary - Subject Matter Preparation
The State of Michigan requires that all teacher certification candidates have either a certification major and minor or two certification majors in order to be recommended for teacher certification.
Candidates in the Elementary Master of Arts with Certification Program can choose from the following certification majors and minors:
| Academic Majors | Academic Minors |
| Language Arts | Fine Arts |
| Mathematics | Language Arts |
| Integrated Science | Mathematics |
| Social Studies | Integrated Science |
| Social Studies |
Due to the intensive nature of the Elementary MAC Program, candidates are expected to have all of the coursework necessary for the required certification major(s) and minor completed prior to beginning the Elementary MAC Program.
The only exception is for those planning to major or minor in Language Arts. Students seeking certification in Language Arts will have the opportunity to complete up to 9 credits of related coursework as part of the program requirements.
A coursework evaluation must be done using transcripts from every undergraduate and graduate institution attended (including community colleges) to help determine what certification major and minor will be most appropriate for you. An Application for a Coursework Evaluation should be submitted as early as possible. There is no cost for this evaluation.
