Our Master Teacher (MTEA) Concentration is a non-licensure Master's Degree in Early Childhood that is appropriate for teachers who already have licensure and are looking to get a master's degree and also for graduate students who are not teachers but who are interested in earning a master's degree that will enable them to work in other early childhood settings outside the public school.
