Part 3 - Screening Interview
Students must appear for a personal interview with their Department Screening Committee.
Special Education MAT students will complete an interview in the course SPED 55003. Elementary, Mid-Level, Art, and Business MAT students will complete an interview in the course CIED61303.
Each program will hold interviews at certain times each semester. It is very important that students keep an eye out for any correspondence from faculty and advisors about interview dates.
*Some programs may need to contact the Program Coordinator directly to schedule an interview.
For more information, please contact your respective Program Coordinator.
All students will be required to fill out a Signature Verification Page to bring to their interview.
Please see below for your respective program's Signature Verification Page (you should receive this from whoever you schedule your interview with). You will only complete the top portion and sign and date on the Applicant's Signature line.
- Elementary, Mid-Level, Art, & Business MAT Signature Verification Page
- Special Education MAT Signature Verification Page
- BSE Special Education Signature Verification Page

After the interview, the Signature Verification Page must be signed by the Department Chair and turned in to the Professional Education Programs office in room 213 in the College of Education and Behavioral Science. Please ask your Department Screening Committee if you need to turn it in directly or if they will do it on your behalf.
