NCTE Guidelines and Citadel English Courses
To the prospective MAT/English
student:
To prepare you for success as a certified teacher of
language arts, the State Department of Education and The Citadel have adopted
guidelines for your program of studies in pursuing the Master of Arts in
Teaching. These guidelines were developed by the National Council of
Teachers of English (NCTE). Members of The
Citadel's Departments of Education and English have examined the courses offered
by this institution in light of these guidelines and have prepared the following
table. Note that the right side of the table contains both undergraduate
and graduate (numbered 500 and above) courses. Many of your undergraduate
courses in English will serve to fulfill the different NCTE guideline
requirements. Your English content advisor will evaluate your
undergraduate transcript using this table. In a case where there is a
question of whether a class you took satisfies a guideline requirement, you will
be asked to provide a syllabus from that class.
