Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Program in Portland

George Fox University offers two part-time MAT program formats at its Portland Center located near the I-5/217 interchange in Tigard.

Both the MAT In Your Community and MAT At Night program formats consist of the same number of credits and graduate in late April or early May. The MAT At Night format is spread out over one additional semester, offering a less intense pace than the MAT In Your Community format. Contact your admissions counselor for more information.

Choose the format that best suits your schedule:
