Relay currently offers the following programs in Colorado:  

 

Master of Arts in Teaching

Master of Arts in Teaching with or without Licensure  

  • A 2-year, 32 credit, Master of Arts in Teaching program leading to eligibility for a Colorado Initial Teacher License. 

    • Relay Teaching Residency Pathway - Colorado Traditional Teacher Licensure Program

      • The residency pathway supports aspiring teachers, offering a supportive gradual on-ramp into the profession.

      • In the first year, students serve as teaching residents, completing a year-long apprenticeship alongside a lead teacher. 

      • After the first four terms and completing all EPP requirements, students who meet eligibility requirements can apply for their Initial Teacher License.

      • In the second year, students teach as a teacher of record (lead teacher) under a Initial Teacher License.

  • Non-Resident Pathway - Colorado Alternative Teacher Licensure Program
    • Students will serve as a teacher of record (lead teacher) under a Alternative Teacher License/Interim Teacher Authorization for the first year of the program. After the first four terms of the program, students who meet eligibility requirements can apply for their Initial Teacher License.  

    • This pathway is designed for students who will be the lead teacher in the first year of enrollment in the M.A.T. program. 

Students who are not seeking licensure may also enroll in the Master of Arts of teaching through the resident or non-resident pathway as a degree-only student. 

 
  • The Master of Arts in Teaching - Special Education is a 2-year, 39 credit, program that will lead to the Colorado Initial Teacher License in Elementary Education (Grades K-6). Colorado students who complete requirements for their initial license in the first four terms may pursue the Special Education Generalist (Ages 5-21) endorsement as an additional endorsement in the second year. Both the Residency and Non-Residency pathways are available to Relay students.
