Graduate candidates must be certified teachers, leaders, or service professionals or be admitted to a Georgia State University initial preparation program in one of those areas. Preservice teachers in the M.A.T. in Elementary Education are admitted into the Urban Education endorsement upon acceptance to their degrees. Other candidates may apply to add on the endorsement by applying to the Urban Education Endorsement (non-degree) program.

Successful completion of the three strands found below with the associated key assessments, qualifies a certified teacher, educational leader, or service professional for the bachelor’s, master’s or specialist endorsement, depending on the level and type of certification.
