Graduate & Degree Programs
Evidence-based, in-depth programs that help aspiring and current educators gain credentials and develop their skills so all students thrive.
Master of Arts in Teaching
Relay’s Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program gives teachers the opportunity to earn their graduate degree and the credentials they need to launch or advance their careers.
Aspiring teachers can enroll in a residency program that includes an apprentice year and opportunities to earn a teaching certification and an optional special education certification, while current teachers can opt to earn their master’s degree with or without special education certification. We offer options that meet all teachers' needs.
Certification and Advanced Certification Programs
Alternative Certification
Earn your teaching certification while learning from experienced professors and building a network of like-minded educators.
Advanced Certificate in Special Education
Earn a graduate-level Advanced Certificate and prepare for state-level special education certification with the goal of serving all learners.
