MAT@USC Offers Educators and Aspiring Teachers the Opportunity to Earn a Master of Arts in Teaching Degree Online
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of USC. All opinions are 100% mine.
Ever since the economic downturn, jobs have been extremely hard to come by. I know of a lot of people in my very small town that have been out of work for over a year and despite their best efforts, they can’t seem to land a stable job. We’re not talking about high-paying, lucrative jobs here, we’re talking about anything and everything from retail to call centers where people are willing to work, yet they remain adamant on not hiring.
While I work from home and am very happy doing so, a great deal of people are taking this downturn in the economy and turning it into an opportunity to completely change the focus of their careers. Those who have been laid off or let go from jobs they have been at for years are finding themselves back in the school environment, taking classes, and getting certified for brand new careers where they are in high demand.
A rewarding career that is always in style is teaching. Educators have the opportunity to inform, influence, and pave the way for future generations of people to change the world. It was because of an English teacher I had in seventh grade that I developed the passion for writing and stuck with it throughout my entire life, and did something with it. Without that teacher, I do not know what I would be doing right now, but it surely wouldn’t be writing because I didn’t give myself that time to realize that writing could be fun, cathartic, and something I really enjoyed doing.
If you are an aspiring teacher or a current educator who wants to expand their horizons and move on to bigger and better experiences where you will be influencing the next generation of movers and shakers, the USC Rossier School of Education’s MAT@USC offers an amazing program to earn your Master of Arts in Teaching degree. Better yet, because we all live with schedules, errands, you may have a family you need to attend to, and you just may not have the time to dedicate to a full-time, in-classroom experience, MAT@USC offers you the ability to study online.
MAT@USC offers their online students a great deal of opportunities and privileges that go above and beyond just the pride felt from becoming part of the elite USC Trojan Family. USC offers a groundbreaking tuition reimbursement program, scholarships to make paying for your education a realistic opportunity, and a chance to learn from distinguished USC faculty who have been recognized for their contributions to modern education.
Even if you are foreign to the ways of the internet and what studying online would bring to your life, USC offers easy technology that introduces you to the interactivity of the program you will be learning in. This technology is so above and beyond what other online programs have to offer that Rossier and MAT@USC has garnered awards by AACTE for innovative use of technology in education. Their program is highly interactive and also lets you learn through field-based experience in your local area. USC has also been ranked as #22 in United States and #9 among all private universities by US News and World Report, so you know you will be receiving a quality education.
To ensure you reach your goals, MAT@USC offers an accelerated program that you can complete in as little as 12 months, allowing you to begin your career sooner than if you were to attend a local university.
If you have a passion for teaching, be sure to check out the program information for MAT@USC and see how they can make your aspirations a reality.

Wow. Online through USC. That’s great. My wife is looking into going straight into her Masters after she finishes student teaching next school year. USC would be a great option and would sound great when trying to get a job somewhere.
Excellent article, very informative. Nice to know there are so many options for getting a teaching degree online.
Do not enroll in this program! The instructors are arrogant. I am a current student and finishing the first semester of classes. It is awful. The program does not seem to inspire new teachers, but instead gives a lot of “overview” assignments about issues in education that are really not discussed in class to connect to the real world classroom. It is to late to drop the program, but I would if I did not have to start from scratch again at another university. This program is not worth the cost! The program seems to want to make the students write like researchers. I do not want to be a professional researcher, I want to be a classroom teacher.
I have a friend in another program and she loves it! They are learning the same theories, but the instructors are supporting, caring, and connect it all to the classroom. I wish I was in that program and getting a practical teacher education. Instead I am going broke and in a program that I dislike. I am learning that I do have stamina and that I will prevail–even in the bad MAT at USC program. I can’t wait to get it done and out of USC.
Hi Brenda,
I’m sorry to hear that you don’t like the MAT program at USC. I’ve been looking into it, and am glad to hear a current student’s opinion. What program your friend is in?

I am a current student at USC and absolutely love it! The MAT@USC gives me the flexibility I need to go part-time while I also focus on my roles as a wife and mother. I am learning so much and have never found the teachers to be anything but caring and extremely helpful. I am confident that this program will prepare me to be an excellent teacher.
Wow, the response from Heidi sounds an awful lot like someone from USC’s admins wrote that. Good to hear some unfiltered responses. $45,000 is a LOT of money to spend on a program. I need to make sure that is money well spent. @Brenda, what program is your friend in?
