Prepare for a Careen in Education with a Master’s Degree from Salem College
At Salem College, we have prepared educators for more than 200 years with the tools they need to teach and inspire their students with confidence. One of the ways that we do this is through our educator preparation programs,which offer advanced experiences in teacher education, school counseling, and educational leadership.
Candidates who have already completed a four-year degree in a field other than education may elect to pursue the Masters of the Arts of Teaching, or MAT. This is a two-phase program: Phase one leads to initial licensure, and phase two offers candidates the opportunity to attain an advanced degree in education. The MAT program at Salem College was created for the working student and features small class sizes, a supportive atmosphere, a customized and flexible course of study, and evening classes. Candidates who complete all licensure requirements are highly qualified to teach.
Our Master of Education program in Winston-Salem is ideally suited for licensed teachers seeking to enhance their professional practice. Salem’s M.Ed. programs have been designed to complement an in-service teacher’s schedule. Evening class meeting times, customized courses of study, flexible and convenient semester schedules (including a January and two summer terms), and intimate rapport with colleagues and professors make our M.Ed. program a terrific choice for educators seeking an advanced degree.
The Master of Education in Educational leadership is a fully online program that prepares educators for careers as principals and other school leadership roles. This online cohort-based program is taught over seven semesters with residency experiences on Salem’s campus each fall and spring semester.

In-service teachers may wish to enhance their practices by adding an additional area to their teaching licensure. With this in mind, Salem College offers several courses of study leading to licensure in the following specialty areas:
Along with evening class hours, courses are offered across four terms (fall, spring, summer 1, and summer 2). Salem’s add-on licensure programs are a terrific choice to strengthen your teaching repertoire and add an additional area of licensure.
A student with a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution may enroll for selected coursework at the graduate level as a non-degree or visiting student. If a non-degree student later applies to the graduate program and is accepted, credit earned on courses already taken may be applied to the degree, provided the course grade is B or better.
