​Teaching may just be a great career change for you. With ongoing professional development opportunities, comprehensive benefits, and a chance to truly make a difference in the lives of young people -- teaching provides a bright future no matter where you are in your professional journey.

Already have your Bachelor's Degree?

In Maryland, one way to acquire licensure if you already have an undergraduate degree is to obtain a Master's Degree from a program that includes licensure​, such as the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT). These programs are considered traditional routes to teacher education and can be part-time or full-time. They are available all over the state, so you can find one that fits your schedule and your needs.​
