Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who enrolls in the MAET Program?

Our learners are mainly teachers, administrators, and those working in a variety of capacities with K-12 education or educational technology focused on K-12 education. Learners are at all stages of their professional careers. Wondering if our program will meet your professional needs? Please email us at askmaet@msu.edu. 

What does the program cost?

You can locate current tuition information on our Resources page. Degree programs at MSU cost more per credit, but require fewer total credits (30 compared to 36-38 credits for other programs), evening out some cost differences. A degree from MSU offers candidates a highly regarded, nationally recognized, and portable degree.

Are scholarships or assistantships available?

To support you, we have curated a list of funding opportunities for you to explore as you consider scholarship, grant, fellowship, and assistantships to fund your MAET experience.

How long will it take me to earn my master’s degree?

A majority of learners complete the program in 5 semesters (about 1.5yrs) while working full time. Your MAET academic advisor will work with you to build an individualized course plan that best suits your professional and personal goals. There is a 5-year limit for completion of all courses in the master’s program.

When is the due date for applying?

We admit students to the MAET program on a rolling basis. You can submit your application any time and start preparing for your MAET journey early! Applications are reviewed on a weekly basis.

Final due dates for each semester:

  • Admission for Fall Semester online: August 1
  • Admission for Spring Semester online: December 1
  • Admission to start in our Overseas Cohort: Apply by March 30
  • Admission for Summer Semester online: April 1
I graduated from MSU’s Teacher Preparation Program (TPP). How many of my TPP courses are accepted?

Our program is allowed to transfer a maximum of 9 credits of coursework from your MSU internship experience toward your MAET degree. In order for your MSU credits to be eligible to transfer, you must have earned at least a 3.0 in the courses and you must start your MAET degree within 5 years of completing your first course.

If you have questions before you apply about whether specific courses are accepted, please contact the MAET academic advisor at askmaet@msu.edu.

Can I transfer courses from other universities?

MSU policy allows our program to transfer a maximum of 9 credits (in the form of three 3-credit courses) if they meet the following criteria:

  1. From a postsecondary accredited institution of comparable academic quality (including other programs at MSU)
  2. Are appropriate to a student’s MAET program
  3. Were completed within the time limits approved for the earning of the degree desired at Michigan State University (5yrs)
  4. A 3.0 grade or its equivalent was received in the course

If you would like to have potential transfer courses reviewed for eligibility, please indicate this on your application. Courses will then be evaluated and approved by the MAET program upon admission.

I am an international student. Does your program qualify me for a student visa?

No. Our courses are offered fully online, and therefore residency in the US is not required to complete the MAET program. If you are an international applicant interested in the program, please note that the MAET program does not fulfill the academic requirements to apply for an F-1 or J-1 visa.
