Adolescence/Secondary Certification Program There are two ways to become a secondary school teacher at Colgate. The first is through the undergraduate teacher education program, which can be completed in the normal four-year undergraduate period. The second is through Colgate's Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) program. In both the M.A.T. and undergraduate programs, certification is available in English, history, mathematics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and physics.
